    About this ebook

    Stubborn in Love

    I constantly mention that I resigned from the kingdom of poetry, but I am definitely still bound in the castle of love in all its forms. The forms of love are variable, unlike what the lovers might admit, and the two most prominent forms of love are intense eagerness and deep intimacy.
    It is my great luck that I did not abandon one of these two forms throughout my relationship with my beloved, to whom I have picked every single piece of this bouquet of poems.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      A NOTE ON THE ENGLISH

      TRANSLATION

      Translating a work you’ve written is as if you’re writing it twice. That is why I entrusted Youssef Elharrak with the translation of this collection of my poems. This is, of course, in addition to the fact that Youssef is a skilled translator. However, I was pleased to provide feedback on Elharrak’s translations to ensure that they retained, as much as possible, the poems’ original meanings.

      It was difficult to render the Arabic text into English while clinging to the literal version of every line of the poems, and even of every
