Additional quotes by Al-Mutanabbi

The desert knows me well, the night, the mounted men
The battle and the sword, the paper and the pen!

I am the one whose writing even the blind see
and the one whose poems have brought hearing to the deaf

Beautiful women, as experienced men know,
Are but darkness wrapped in dazzling light aglow.
A life of friv'lous youth and worried age,
Its futile course to futile death will flow.

A charger's saddle is an exalted throne, the best companions are books alone. - Al-Mutanabbi
