Persian language) Chon konam ma’ashugh-e ayyår åmadast Dashne dar kaf su-ye bazaar åmadast Dashne-ye u teshneh-ye khun-e del ast Lajeram khunriz-o khun khor åmadast Ashegh u vo eshgh u ma’ashugh-e ust Kisti to chon hameh yår åmadast Joz fanåi nist chon mibengaram Ån che az vey ghesme Attår åmadast What can I do, the beloved as a renegade has come With dagger in hand, into the bazaar she has come This sword is thirsty for the blood of the heart’s love Surely to shed and devour this blood she has come She is the Lover, Love, and the Beloved Who are you when she is everything? When I look all I see is annihilation This is the destiny of Attar that has come.

From the Javanese "Kidung Rumeksa Ing Wengi" attributed to Sunan Kalijaga “The origin of everything is in One seed Then scattered into the world In accordance with the Essence That which is read, and heard Written, and preserved Becomes a blessing on the body A mist of auspiciousness When recited into water Lovers are united The insane are healed”
