آلودگی • (âludegi)

1. pollution
   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume II, verse 30:

     چون که مومن آینه‏ی مومن بود
     روی او ز آلودگی ایمن بود

     čōn ki mu'min āyina-ē mu'min buwad
     rōy-i ō za ālūdagī īmin buwad

     Since the true believer is a mirror for the true believer,
     his face is safe from defilement.
