Persian
چشمِ ما هرگز بغیر از حق ندید
ما نمی لافیم از زهد و ریا
دیگری را از کجا آریم ما
حرفِ غیر از حق نیاید هیچ گاه
English Translation
Our eyes witness nothing but the Truth-Divine.
Neither do we flaunt piety nor do we indulge in hypocrisy.
From where would we bring another?
Nothing is ever uttered except Truth-Divine.
