Number 9

There is no field or grassland in the world, no mountain or meadow, no sown crop or fallow ground. For I have laid the seed of that meadow myself, and I myself have made the mountain valleys my home.
Explanation: These verses appear to be in a regional Iranian dialect, so the reading is approximate. The imagery ties the speaker's identity to the land, its fields, and its mountains.
