“There was a time when the days were in our service,
While we were with each other in the happiest of lands.
Who will now bring me to the house of the dear ones,
Where the place is illuminated* and there is times delight*

* play on the name of Dau’ Al-makan, literally ‘light of the place’ and nuzhat Al-Zaman literally times delight (on the siblings of night 72)”

“But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.” —10 Things I Hate About You”

“Praise be to God , who has given you all beauty,
So that I have remained among your prisoners
You whose glance enslave all of mankind,
Pray that I may be saved from the arrows that you shoot.
Two opposites , water and a burning flash of fire ,
Are found combined as a marvel in your cheeks,
For my heart you are hellfire and the delight of paradise .
How bitter and sweet you are for it!”
― Anonymous , The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1001 Nights, Volume 1

“We two are equal in our love but she
Shows hardiness at times , while I have none
She fears malicious threats , but when I am held back
And threatened, then my love for her becomes madness”
