When words are a second sight then blindness can rob me of nothing.
I have written in darkness as if I have written in light.

if glory be a tune of stillness
give me then the raising of the early dawn
and if there be nothing for you to give me
give me then [...]

“By the forenoon’s light.
By the darkness of night.
Your Lord never left you, nor did He forget you.”
- Al-Quran (093: 000-011 Al-Duhaa)
"The Oxford History of Islam" by John L. Esposito (Editor)
"O wave! Plunge headlong into the dark seas,
And change thyself with many a twist and turn;
Thou wast not born for tile solace of the shore;
Arise, untamed, and find a path for thyself."
- Allama Muhammad Iqbal
