““For thus, From us sweet perfumed words shall rise* To places known alone by God, the Wise; Our breaths are granted leave selectively, Gifts for the realm of His eternity, Rewards for good speech come down to us then Twice over, mercy from God to good men. Then He entrusts us to exemplars, so His servants can receive what such men know— These breaths ascend and grace comes down from there, 890 May you not cease from doing your own share!””

Jalaluddin Rumi
