  • Thou hast expended eyes and ears and intellect and the pure celestial substances: what hast thou purchased from the earth?

  • Again the (Divine) command comes to him, “Lift up thy head from the prostration and give an account of thy deeds.”
  • باز فرمان آیدش بردار سر ** از سجود و وا ده از کرده خبر
