میان آب و گل خلوت گزیدم
1
میان آب و گل خلوت گزیدم
ز افلاطون و فارابی بریدم

Within the realm of water and clay, I've chosen retreat —

From Plato and Farabi, I've made my discreet.

2
نکردم از کسی دریوزهٔ چشم
جهان را جز به چشم خود ندیدم

I begged not for vision from any other's plea —

The world, I viewed solely with my own eyes, free.
