नाहं मेरुर्न मे मेरुर्जगन्नाहं न मे जगत् ।
नाहं शैला न मे शैला धरा नाहं न मे धरा ॥ ३ ॥

nāhaṃ merurna me merurjagannāhaṃ na me jagat |
nāhaṃ śailā na me śailā dharā nāhaṃ na me dharā || 3 ||

He said:—I am not in this mountain (nor in any visible thing), nor are they mine (or any part of myself); I am not the cosmos, nor is this world myself. (I am no hill, nor do the hills appertain to my soul; I am not of this earth, nor is the earth any part of mine unearthly spirit, Gloss). So says the Sufi poets: na azarsham &c.
