The text in this design reads:
When Allah willed to create the horse, he
said to the South Wind,
"I will that a creature should proceed from
thee. Condense thyself."
And the wind condensed itself,
Then came the angel Gabriel saying,
"I have called thee horse.
I have attached good fortune to the hair
that falls between thine eyes.
Thou shall be the lord of all other animals,
and men shall follow thee
wheresoever thou goest.
Good for pursuit as for flight, thou shall
fly without wings and upon thy
back shall riches repose and through they
means shall wealth come. |
