   • c. 1720, 'Abd al-Qādir Bēdil, “Ghazal 1343”, in دیوان بیدل [The Divān of Bēdil]‎:

     بیدل افکار دقیق آیینهٔ تخقیق نیست
     ذره‌ها خورشید را در چشم روزن دیده‌اند

     bēdil afkār-i daqīq āyina-yi tahqīq nēst
     zarrā-hā xwaršēd rā dar čašm-i rōzan dīda-and

     Bēdil, delicate thoughts are not a mirror for verifying truth!
     The motes of dust have seen the sun through the eye of the peephole.
