1. أَعشَقُ المُرْدَ والنّكَارِيشَ والشِّي

    بَ وعندي مِثْلُ البنينَ البَناتُ

    I love the beardless youths, the bushy-bearded men, and the gray-

    haired; and to me, girls are just like boys.

  2. حَدُّ ما يُشْتَهَى ويُعشَقُ عندي

    حَيَوانٌ تَحلُّ فيهِ الحَيَاةُ

    To me, the definition of what is desired and loved is

    A creature in which life dwells.
