| About the Mantiq al-Tayr |
"And silently their shining Lord replies:
'I am a mirror set before your eyes,
And all who come before my splendor see
Themselves, their own unique reality ...
... The Simurgh, Truth's last flawless jewel, the light
In which you will be lost to mortal sight,
Dispersed to nothingness until once more
You find in Me the selves you were before.'"

| A miserly bird |
Another bird said: "I love gold alone;
It's life to me, like marrow to a bone --
When I have gold I blossom like a flower;
With restless pride I revel in its power."
