“أرى كلّ معشوقينِ، غيري وغيرَها
يَلَذّانِ في الدّنْيا ويَغْتَبِطَانِ
وأمشي ، وتمشي في البلادِ
كأننا أسِيران، للأعداءِ، مُرتَهَنانِ
أصلي، فأبكي في الصلاة ِ لذكرها
ليَ الويلُ ممّا يكتبُ الملكانِ
ضَمِنْتُ لها أنْ لا أهيمَ بغيرِهَا
وقد وثقتْ مني بغيرِ ضمانِ
ألا، يا عبادَ الله، قوموا لتسمعوا
خصومة َ معشوقينِ يختصمانِ
وفي كل عامٍ يستجدانِ، مرة ً
عتابًا وهجرًا، ثمّ يصطلحانِ
يعيشانِ في الدّنْيا غَريبَينِ، أينما
أقاما، وفي الأعوامِ يلتقيانِ

:)”
― جميل بن عبد الله بن معمر, ديوان جميل بثينة

“Die! Die! Die in this love!
If you die in this love,Your soul will be renewed.
Die! Die! Don’t fear the death of that which is known
If you die to the temporal, You will become timeless.”
― Rumi

“I have dreamed of you so much that you are no longer real.
Is there still time for me to reach your breathing body, to kiss your mouth and make
your dear voice come alive again?

I have dreamed of you so much that my arms, grown used to being crossed on my
chest as I hugged your shadow, would perhaps not bend to the shape of your body.
For faced with the real form of what has haunted me and governed me for so many
days and years, I would surely become a shadow.”
― Robert Desnos
