The origins of the flag are the subject of dispute and mythology. In one version, the colours were chosen by the Arab nationalist 'Literary Club' in <a href="/wiki/Istanbul" title="Istanbul">Istanbul</a> in 1909, based on the words of the 13th-century Arab poet Safi al-Din al-Hili: </p> <blockquote><div class="poem"> <p>Ask the high rising spears, of our aspirations<br /> Bring witness the swords, did we lose hope<br /> We are a band, honor halts our souls<br /> Of beginning with harm, those who won't harm us<br /> White are our deeds, black are our battles,<br /> Green are our fields, red are our swords. </p> </div></blockquote> <p>Another version credits the <a href="/wiki/Al-Fatat" title="Al-Fatat">Young Arab Society</a>, which was formed in Paris in 1911. Yet another version is that the flag was designed by <a href="/wiki/Mark_Sykes" title="Mark Sykes">Sir Mark Sykes</a> of the British Foreign Office.
