Mataa-e-Bebaha Hai Dard-o-Souz-e-Arzoo-Mandi
Maqam-e-Bandagi De Kar Na Loon Shan-e-Khudawandi

Slow fire of longing—wealth beyond compare;
I will not change my prayer‐mat for Heaven’s chair!

متاعِ بے بہا ہے درد و سوزِ آرزومندی
مقامِ بندگی دے کر نہ لوں شانِ خداوندی

(Bal-e-Jibril - Ghazal - 12)

The word “#Allah” is unique. First: “Allah” cannot be made plural in #Arabic, it points to complete oneness. Second: the word cannot be made male or female. It's a standalone category. Third: no other word in the world reflects the absolute uniqueness of the #Creator.
