"The dark-skinned Yumna said to one whose colour equals the white-ness of the eye, 'Why should your face boast its white complexion? Do you think that by so clear a tint it gains additional merit? Were a mole of my color on that face it would adorn it; but one of your colour on my cheek would disfigure me."
-Abu Ishak Assabi
