Abu Nuwas Quotes

3 Sourced Quotes

I bought abandon dear
And sold all piety for pleasure.
My own free spirit I have followed,
And never will I give up lust.

Abu Nuwas

Critic, relent!
Your hope for repentance
Will meet with disappointment.
For this is the life,
Not desert tents,
Not camel's milk!

Abu Nuwas

You, mad to expect repentance,
Tear your robe all you want;
I will never repent!

Abu Nuwas
