Quotes by نزار قباني  (?)

“In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you. Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.”
Nizar Qabbani

“فإذا وقفت أمام حسنك صامتاً

فالصمت في حرم الجمال جمال

كلماتنا في الحب .. تقتل حبنا

إن الحروف تموت حين تقال.”
نزار قباني

“يحدث أحيانا ً أن أبكي
مثل الأطفال بلا سببٍ
يحدث أن أسأم من عيني بلا سببٍ
يحدث أن أتعب من كلماتي
يحدث أن أتعب من تعبي
و بلا سببٍ”
نزار قباني
