   • 1611, ʿAbd al-Sattār ibn Qāsim Lāhōrī, مجالس جهانگیری [Majālis-i Jahāngīrī]:

     اگر بر تقدیر معقولیت میفرمایید پس باطلترین و نجسترین و گنده‌ترین دینها پیش من دین ایشان است بلكه دین هنود نزد من از دین ایشان بهتر!

     agar bar taqdīr-i ma'quliyat mē-farmāyēd pas bātiltarīn u najistarīn u gandatarīn-i dīn-hā pēš-i man dīn-i ēšān ast balki dīn-i hunūd nazd-i man az dīn-i ēšān bihtar!

     If you assess it based on plausibility, then my view is that the absurdest, the impurest, and the dirtiest of religions is theirs: in my opinion, the religion of the Hindus is better than theirs!
