…Sufis weren’t your average ‘desi’ men, that’s why.

You always get heightened form of romanticism in literary. One of the purposes of creative literature is to create an idealised world, characters and situations you don’t see in your normal surrounding. If you read Shakespeare, you’d would think perhaps people in Elizabethan era worshipped women.

The creative writers are not supposed to think like everyday people and follow the cultural norms, they convey their own desired form of perfection through words. The beauty they see is a product of their imagination?

According to Allama Iqbal,

Wujood-e-Zan Se Hai Tasveer-e-Kainat Mein Rang
Issi Ke Saaz Se Hai Zindagi Ka Souz-e-Darun

The picture that this world presents from woman gets its tints and scents:
She is the lyre that can impart pathos and warmth to human heart.
