Poem 2
Though both worlds, from end to end, are His own being,
why is the human the kernel and the universe the shell?
It is because the human is the pupil of His eye,
and He, in turn, is the mirror that holds the human's face.

با آنکه دو کون سر به سر هستی اوست
انسان ز چه مغز گشت عالم ز چه پوست
زین است که او مردمک چشم وی است
باز آن که بود آینه چهره اوست
