Author of quotes: Abul-Ala al-Maarri

True the earth is
since the early days
And, in the fury executes the wisest
of people.

People everywhere noble renegade
For their countrymen
and tribeswoman.

Prudence to cover impotence
and fear of the soul -
Such tricks are only for those
in whom there is no honor, good.

What you want to see on this earth
but after fruitless searches
You will understand what is missing to her:
brave and noble.

Keep your voice down and in the irritation of the spirit:
The louder your voice, the painful to the ear.

"I am the navel of the earth," says the proud arrogant,
Forgetting that he's a speck in the universe.

Black soul of Adam's sons,
For them, the betrayal and false friends.
O sinners, when it's your time,
God of black you know.

I'm tired of my age, I age tired.
Experience eyes I see my destiny.
When my time comes, I itself from his shoulders
Gray head will carry the Indian sword.
Life camel riding; we ride,
While the thief, death doesn't hide us in the ground.
Al-mutakalim like this world
In the Wake of him alone, and ser.
Run, having lost the purpose! Children of Adam link
Backhand bran, live, medinas!
Fight Il reconciled as they want. Each war
And peaceful life the other truly equal.

We complained in the morning and life is in a hurry to curse:
Razvitiem fraught our passion.
For each of us life has in store
Resentment, distress and bitterness in every hour.
The two kingdoms proponents fell in the dust, and here
No more of these kingdoms. Us only death does not lie.
Develop worldly life Il it is not setuy.
But rarely follow reasonable advice.
In order to avoid the innumerable ills
Do not hurry to flee beauties followed suit.
But if you looked invitingly,
Let them fail the eye halfway to the target.

We lie together and broke up, and now - goodbye
I understand the temper of the man: his jewel - silent.
Is lying who calls the son: "Living". But never before
Was not true the child who called: "Dying".

How many in the world of beauties, like the Pleiades,
And the sand and turned to them the last outfit.
Proud was turned away from the mirror,
But to look at her friend I would advice not given.

Mind prevents sinful deeds,
But it entails the nature and demands of the assignment.
In trouble everyday experience can be of help:
We trust the falsehood, and the truth will cast you out.

Sons of Adam a
But I like his -
Renounced the vanity of vanities
And greed is not obsessed, no.
I prefer stone all: the
People are not oppressed and don't lie.

Intelligent creature of the Immortal Creator
Go through suffering before death end of
And mortal death gives a gift of expensive:
The heirs - inheritance, the dead - quiet.
