To express my Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Iran policy I have some Persian calligraphy I discovered in Kabul. It is four lines from a poem by Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi al Balkhi, commonly known in the West as Rumi.
از محبت خارها گل میشود
وز محبت سرکه ها مل میشود
از محبت نار نوری میشود
وز محبت دیو حوری میشود
My translation is:
With love thorns become a rose
With love vinegar becomes honey
With love fire becomes light
With love a demoness becomes a heavenly angel.
