Ariana Grande tweeted a short verse that garnered several thousand likes and retweets:
He visits my town once a year. He fills my mouth with kisses and nectar. I spend all my money on him. Who, girl, your man? No, a mango.
This ode to the mango was written by mystic Sufi poet Amir Khusrau at the turn of the 14th century as a discussion between two young women (translated by Paul Losensky and Sunil Sharma).
Hundreds of years later, in the 19th century, Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib described the mango as “Delicious wine filled in a sealed glass.”

South China Morning Post says
Emperors have lusted after it. Poets have penned couplets extolling its virtues. A nation of a billion people eagerly awaits its seasonal arrival. Exotic and colourful, with hues that vary from golden to saffron to tender green, it’s the regal and luscious mango.
