Quotes by Abū Nuwās (?)

“Decay spread in me low and high,
Organ by organ, I see myself beginning to die,
Not a single hour passes by
without reducing part of me away.
In obedience to self-desires all done,
My youth fortune and strength all gone,
And, only now, when moribund,
did I remember to obey Allah!!
Indeed we did misbehave, totally misbehaved
Yet, Ya Allah grant us forgiveness, clemency and pardon”
― Abū Nuwās

“Menkää kertomaan tuolle
joka pitää itseään filosofina:
Jotain sinä tiedät
mutta paljosta jäät paitsi.”

“Muistan vielä, kuinka kerran
sinäkin tahdoit minua.
Nyt sinä tahdot minun
vain pysyvän poissa.”
