Quote #1

Critic, relent! Your hope for repentance Will meet with disapppointment. For this is the life, Not desert tents, Not camel's milk!

More from Abu Nuwas

  1. You, mad to expect repentance, Tear your robe all you want; I will never repent!
  2. I bought abandon dear And sold all piety for pleasure. My own free spirit I have followed, And never will I give up lust.
