Le Diwan d'Amro'lkais Quotes

“Stop, oh my friends, let us pause to weep over the remembrance of my beloved.
Here was her abode on the edge of the sandy desert between Dakhool and Howmal.


The traces of her encampment are not wholly obliterated even now.
For when the South wind blows the sand over them the North wind sweeps it away.”
― Imru al-Qays, Le Diwan d'Amro'lkais

“Thus the tears flowed down on my breast, remembering days of love;
The tears wetted even my sword-belt, so tender was my love.”
― Imru al-Qays, Le Diwan d'Amro'lkais
