چندان که خواهی درنگر در من که نشناسی مرا

زیرا از آن کم دیده‌ای من صدصفت گردیده‌ام

در دیده من اندرآ وز چشم من بنگر مرا

زیرا برون از دیده‌ها منزلگهی بگزیده‌ام

   (رومی (مولوی

“Study me as much as you like, you will never know me.

For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

Put yourself behind my eyes, and see me as I see myself.

Because I have chosen to dwell in a place you can’t see”.

Jalal al-Din Rumi
