Theres an old Arabic line of POETRY:

it says:

يخاطبني السفيه بكل قبح ~~~ فآبى أن أكون له مجيبا

يزيد سفاهة فأزيد حلما ~~~ كعود زاده الإحراق طيبا

*Translates:

The OUTCAST (ILL MANNERED) SPEAKS TO ME WITH ALL UGLINESS

YET I REFRAIN FROM REPLYING TO HIM

HE INCREASES IN UGLINESS & I INCREASE IN PATIENCE

LIKE THE WOOD OF ESSENCE THE MORE IT BURNS THE BETTER ITS SMELL BECOMES

- shukran ya Jaalius for posting this beautiful words. Masha Allah Tabarakallah.
