“قد كنت قبل اليوم أنكر صاحبي
إذا لم يكن ديني إلى دينه داني

لقد صار قلبي قابلا كل صورة
فمرعى لغزلان ودير لرهبان

وبيت لأوثان وكعبة طائف
وألواح توراة ومصحف قرآن

أدين بدين الحب أني توجهت ركائبه
فالحب ديني وإيماني”
― محي الدين بن عربي

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.

“زي الهوي
زي الهوي الساري ...
و خيال الطيف

أحلي سنين العمر بينا تمر
يا نعيش هوانا حلم ليلة صيف
يا تـِتـُوه خُطانا في ليل شـِتانا المر

و لما تتلاقي الوشوش مرتين
ما بيتلاقوش يوم اللُقا التاني
عمر الوشوش ما بتبقي بعد السنين.....
نفس الوشوش دي بتبقي شئ تاني

بتبدل الأيام ملامحنا
..تـِـرعشنا
..تنعشنا
...تشوّشنا
يا تري اللي بيعيش الزمن ... إحنا
، ولاّ الزمن هو اللي بيعيشنا ؟!!

و لمّا تتلاقي الوشوش مرتين
مبيتلاقوش يوم اللقا التاني
عمر الوشوش ما بتبقي بعد السنين.....
نفس الوشوش دي بتبقي شئ تاني”
― سيد حجاب
