The one through whom I hear, I speak, and the one for whom I search in every direction,
it is He within me who says at every moment, openly and in secret: He is I, and I am He.
Explanation: The closing line echoes the Sufi theme of union between the self and the divine, where the boundary between lover and Beloved dissolves.

پیدا و نهان که او من و من اویم
