    This cannot take her.
    If of herself she will not love,
    Nothing can make her:
    The devil take her!

    Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
    Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
    Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
    I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.

    And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.
    Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)
