Both worlds can fit within me, but in this world I cannot fit I am the essence, I have no place, but into existence I cannot fit All that was, is and will be, all embodied in me, Do not ask! Follow me. In explanations I cannot fit. The Universe is my verse; my instance is your life. Know me by these signs; know that in signs I cannot fit. Through guess and doubt no truth was found He who knows the truth knows that in guess I cannot fit. Look deeper into my form and try to understand the meaning Being the body and the soul, in soul with body I cannot fit. I am the pearl, hidden in shell. I am the bridge that leads to heaven and hell. With such a wealth, in markets of this world I cannot fit. I am the secret treasure of all treasures, I am the evidence of all worlds, I am the source of precious, in the depths of sea I cannot fit. Although I am great, but I am Adam, I am a human, I am the creation of the universe, but in creation I cannot fit. The soul and the world, all is me! I am all times and all ages. But is it not strange to anyone that in them I cannot fit?

Page 1: Nasimi "Both worlds can fit within me..."

Both worlds can fit within me, but in this world I cannot fitI am the essence, I have no place, but into existence I cannot fit

All that was, is and will be, all embodied in me,Do not ask! Follow me. In explanations I cannot fit.

The Universe is my verse; my instance is your life.Know me by these signs; know that in signs I cannot fit.

Through guess and doubt no truth was foundHe who knows the truth knows that in guess I cannot fit.

Look deeper into my form and try to understand the meaningBeing the body and the soul, in soul with body I cannot fit.

I am the pearl, hidden in shell. I am the bridge that leads to heaven and hell.With such a wealth, in markets of this world I cannot fit.

I am the secret treasure of all treasures, I am the evidence of all worlds,I am the source of precious, in the depths of sea I cannot fit.

Although I am great, but I am Adam, I am a human,I am the creation of the universe, but in creation I cannot fit.

The soul and the world, all is me! I am all times and all ages. But is it not strange to anyone that in them I cannot fit?

I am the sky, I am all planets, and the angel of revelation

Hide your tongue, for in your tongue I cannot fit.

I am a particle of all things, I am the sun, and I am the six sides of your land.

Page 2: Nasimi "Both worlds can fit within me..."

Look at me with clarity, because in clarity I cannot fit.

I am at once the essence and the character, I am the sugar with the rose,I am decision and excuse, in silent mouth I cannot fit.

I am the burning tree; I am the rock that climbed the heavens.Admire the flames of my fire, in these flames I cannot fit.

I am the sweet dream, the moon and the sun. The breath, the soul, I give.But even in the soul and breath I cannot fit.

I am the string and I am the bow, I am the young and I am the old,I am the power and eternal wealth, but in the ages I cannot fit.

Although today I am Nasimi, a Hashemite and a Quareish

I am less than my fame is, but in my fame I cannot fit.
