  Beautiful poem about Islamic golden age made by ChatGPT with a bit of modification  In the days of old, a golden age did shine, When Islamic scholars reached the divine, From the land of Persia to Andalusia’s coast, Their knowledge spread like a brilliant host. In mathematics and astronomy, they were wise, Their inventions and discoveries, a true surprise, Philosophers and poets, their voices did ring, Their legacy, a true jewel for all to sing. Oh, how their light did shine so bright, A golden age that still fills our sight, May we cherish their wisdom, forevermore, And honor their legacy, forevermore.
