“When you find a man
Who transforms
Every part of you
Into poetry,
Who makes each one of your hairs
Into a poem,
When you find a man
Capable,
As lam,
Of bathing and adorning you
With poetry,
I will beg you
To follow him without hesitation.
It is not important
That you belong to me or him
But that you belong to poetry.”
― Arabian Love Poems: Full Arabic and English Texts

“Give me a daughter with your stubborn heart, or your even temper. Give our children your dark-bright eyes, or your enchanted smile. So that even when we are gone, the world will find within them all of the reasons why I loved you”

“I want to make you a unique alphabet
In it, I want
The rhythm of the rain,
The dust of the moon,
The sadness of the grey clouds,
The pain of the fallen willow leaves
Under the wheels of autumn.”

“Your love took me
To the land of wonder.
Your love attacked me
Like the scent of a woman entering an elevator.
Your love surprised me
While I sat in a cafe with a poem,
And made me forget the poem.
Your love attacked me
Like a wild animal.
Surprising me
While I sat on top of my suitcase,
Waiting for the train of days.
I forgot the train,
I forgot the days,
While I traveled with you
To the land of wonder.”

“Take the sea,
The boats,
The passengers.
But continue to be my lover.
Take all my possessions,
I am only a poet.
All my wealth is
In my notebooks
And in your beautiful eyes.”
