Number 23
Who is this that is other than you? Tell me who it is.
Where does he come from, what is he even made of? Tell me.
Since surely nothing has any life apart from you,
then whoever exists besides you, how does he live? Tell me.

آن کیست که غیر توست آن کیست بگو
او خود ز کجاست یا خود او چیست بگو
چون غیر ترا نیست حیاتی به یقین
آن کس که بجز تو بود چون زیست بگو
