Even amidst diversity and multiplicity, the spectacle of oneness was visible; in whatever form or color I beheld You, You always appeared singular and unique.
This couplet captures the heart of Sufi mysticism: gazing into the bustling diversity of creation and recognizing the signature of the one Beloved. Even though the world dazzles with countless forms, faces, and colors (kasrat), the poet perceives that each unique reflection points back to the singular Divine essence (wahdat). It is like sunlight passing through stained glass—the hues may be endless, but the warm light that animates them all remains pure and One.
