See but One, say but One, know but One.
Gulshān i Rāz, 1. 883.
The Alif of the Loved One's form is graven on my heart,
No other letter did my Shaikh ever to me impart.
ḤĀFI, Ode 416 (ed. Brockhaus).
My heart inquired, “What is the heaven-sent lore?
If thou'st attained it, teach me, I implore.”
“Alif,” I said, “if there be one within,
One letter serves to name him—say no more.”
OMAR KHAYYĀM, Quatrain 109.
