    • c. 1060, Nāṣir-i Khusraw, Safarnāma [Book of Travels]‎:
      چون به نزدیک یاران و اصحاب آمدم یکی از ایشان شعری پارسی می‌خواند. مرا شعری در خاطر آمد که از وی درخواهم تا روایت کند، بر کاغذی نوشتم تا به وی دهم که این شعر برخوان. هنوز بدو نداده بودم که او همان شعر بعینه آغاز کرد. آن حال به فال نیک گرفتم.

      When I arrived at the company of my friends and companions, one of them recited a poem in Persian. A poem came to my mind, and I asked him to read it out loud, writing it down on a piece of paper so as to give it to him for him to recite. I had scarcely given it to him when he began exactly the same poem. I took this occurrence as a good omen.
