Speech as the Soul of Breath and Revealer of Hidden Meaning in Jami's Haft Awrang

In Section 15 of Jami's 'Haft Awrang', speech is presented as more than an instrument of communication. It is the soul animating human breath, the force that unveils secrets, and the means through which silent sounds and meanings become alive. Jami connects speech with the primordial emergence of the pen from non-existence, giving language a generative and revelatory role. This celebration of speech in itself prepares learners to understand the following section's narrower praise of measured and poetic speech.
