   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume I, verse 3542:

     این اشارتهاست گویم از نغول
     لیک می‌‌ترسم ز آزار رسول

     īn išārat-hā-st gōyam az nuğōl
     lēk mē-tarsam za āzār-i-rasūl

     These are (only) hints. I would speak from the depth (of my knowledge),
     but I fear to offend the Messenger.”
