- c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume V, verse 1679:
  جان ازو آمد نیامد او ز جان
  صدهزاران جان دهد او رایگان
  jân az u âmad nay-âmad u ze jân
  sad-hazârân jân dehad u râygân.
  The soul came from Him, not He from the soul:
  He bestows a hundred thousand souls free of cost.
