Never believe a man can change a woman
Those men are pretenders
who think that they created woman
Woman does not emerge from a man’s rib’s, not ever,
it’s he who emerges from her womb

He is only called man (insaan) because of his forgetfulness (nasiyaan), and it is only called the heart (al-qalb) because it changes so rapidly (yataqallib).
