“This thought keeps consoling me:
though tyrants may command that lamps be smashed
in rooms where lovers are destined to meet,
they cannot snuff out the moon, so today,

no poison of torture makes me bitter,
if just one evening in prison
can be so strangely sweet,
if just one moment anywhere on this earth.”
― Faiz Ahmed Faiz
