According to Poet John Milton in his epic poem “Paradise Lost”:
Of Man’s first disoledience and the Fruit
Of that forbidden Tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the World and all our woe
With the loss of Eden
According to Iqbal in his epic poem “Enshrinement of Nature”:
Though from righteous path was I deflected by Satan’s wand
Do forgive my trespass,overlook my oversight
Just to often that hardened idol with my soulful sigh
Inventiable for me it was to own his cult of blight
