"O Moses! the lovers of fair rites are one class, They whose hearts and souls burn with love are another, If they speak amiss, call them not sinners, If a martyr be stained with blood, wash it not away, Blood is better than water for martyrs, This fault is better than a thousand correct forms."
Rumi
