Forgive me if I loved you so violently and so madly, for violence is my weapon to write and my weapon when I love. And madness is the last gold ring I place on your fingers.
Nizar Qabbani, tr. by Nayef al-Kalali, from Republic of Love: Selected Poems; “Love of 1994”

Until my heart beats for the last time,
only then, perhaps, I would stop loving you.
Perhaps.

ما هو الحب في رأيك؟
أن تبتسم حين يبدأ احدهُم بالحديث معك، دون أن يخبرك شيءً مميزاً، فقط 'مرحباً.'
What do you think is love?
To smile when someone starts talking to you, without telling you anything special, just 'hello.'
– Mahmoud Darwish
