He writes pleasing poetry and has composed a masnavī. The following verses are his work:— “My heart is a fire-temple when I think of thee, and on it Is thy brand, like a black Hindū who tends the fire.” “When you see a tongue of flame deem it to be a tormented fire-worshipper Whose soul has departed, while his body still dances in the fire-temple.” “Love is like the loadstone, for when its arrow enters the heart, It cannot be removed till love itself in kindness draws it forth.” - [Previous: 222](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.222) - [Next: 224](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.224) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.223](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.muntakhab-al-tawarikh~en-ranking-lowe-haig.223) · Pramāṇa
