    • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume V, verse 3428:
      حکمتی که بود حق را ز ازدواج
      گشت حاصل از نیاز و از لجاج
      hikmatē ki būd haqq rā z-izdiwāj
      gašt hāsil az niyāz u az lajāj
      The providential purpose that God had—namely, humble supplication or obstinate contumacy—was fulfilled by means of the marriage [of body and spirit].
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
