We are the treasure whose seal is the whole world; we are the essence, and Adam is our attribute made visible.
You who are searching for the Greatest Name of God: do not pass us by, for that Greatest Name is us.
Explanation: The 'Greatest Name' (ism-e a'zam) is the hidden, all powerful name of God in Islamic tradition. The couplets voice a Sufi claim that the human being is itself the manifestation of divine truth.

ذاتی که صفات اوست آدم ماییم
ای آنکه تویی طالب اسم اعظم
از ما مگذر که اسم اعظم ماییم
