- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume III, verse 4031:
  ور بداند ره دل با هوش او
  کی رود هر های و هو در گوش او
  v-ar be-dânad rah del-e bâ-huš-e u
  key ravad har hây o hu dar guš-e u
  But if his wise heart knows the way, how should every hey and ho go into his ear?
