    I die of love for him, perfect in every way,
    Lost in the strains of wafting music.
    My eyes are fixed upon his delightful body
    And I do not wonder at his beauty.
    His waist is a sapling, his face a moon,
    And loveliness rolls off his rosy cheek
    I die of love for you, but keep this secret:
    The tie that binds us is an unbreakable rope.
    How much time did your creation take, O angel?
    So what! All I want is to sing your praises.


    Abu-Nuwas al-Hasan ben Hani al-Hakami (750–810)
