Hanan

“Where is an intimate
friend
who’ll hear the secret
from me straight out–
of what human beings
have been
from the moment they began?
They
are
born
of toil
and molded
from
the clay of sorrow.
They wander the world for a time,
then
set
off.”
― Omar Khayyám, Edward Fitzgerald's The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

“ولأنى ككل الأطفال !

أشعر أنني أريد أن أقول لك فقط:

“أحبك” ومن ثمّ أبكي،

أبكي لأنها لا تعبر عن الكثير،

ولأنها تختصر الكثير،

ولأن الأطفال حينما يعجزون عن التعبير يبكون

ويرددون كلمة واحدة غير مفهومة ومبهمة.”
― جبران خليل جبران

“When you have planted
the rose of Love into your heart
your life has not been in vain.”
― Omar Khayyám

“When you are so full of sorrow
that you can't walk, can't cry anymore,
think about the green foliage that sparkles after
the rain. When the daylight exhausts you, when
you hope a final night will cover the world,
think about the awakening of a young child.”
― Omar Khayyám, The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
