Some of my best contributions edit

Quote edit

"My soul was lost in pleasure,

There in my youth;

Today my white-haired old age exhorts

"My soul to virtue.

Like a plant rooted in sterile soil

Virtue stayed within me;

By heaven it was cultivated in vain;

I gave it no fruit.

Passions were launched from my soul

In displays of giddy ostentation,

 

And one’s being crumbled into atoms,

Flying in all directions.

And there were storms, confusion, fights,

My anger quick to ignite:

Weak were my thoughts on sudden attack,

They remained captive.

The gold in white foam,

It was my greatest delight

In the happy choir.

The cup-bearer was never missing there,

Beautiful, rich in love, Cooling its ardour."

- Written by Muslim poet (Ibn Hamdis)[1]
