| 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.'"

| The hoopoe answers him |
The hoopoe said: "You have the colours of
Those jewels you so inordinately love,
And yet you seem -- like your excuses -- lame.
Your beak and claws are red as blood or flame
Yet those hard gems from which you cannot part
Have only helped you to a hardened heart;
Without their colours they are nothing more
Than stones -- and to the wise not worth a straw.
