Kahlil Gibran's writings are rich with insights on the subject of love. He explored various facets of love, including romantic love, spiritual love, and the interconnectedness of all forms of love. His famous work "The Prophet" contains profound passages on love that continue to resonate with readers worldwide. Here is a excerpt from his writings on love:
English:
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own under- standing of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with grati- tude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
-Khalil Gibran
In Arabic:
إذا أحببت، وكان لا بد من أن تكون لك رغبات خاصة بك، فلتكن هذه رغباتك أن تذوب وتكون كجدول متدفق يشنف آذان الليل بأنغامه. أن تخبر الآلام التي في العطف المتناهي. أن يجرحك إدراكك الحقيقي للمحبة في حبة قلبك، وأن تنزف دماؤك وأنت راض مغتبط. أن تنهض عند الفجر بقلب مجنح خفوق، فتؤدي واجب الشكر ملتمساً يوم محبة آخر. أن تستريح عند الظهيرة وتناخي نفسك بوجد المحبة. أن تعود إلى منزلك عند المساء شاكراً: فتنام حينئذ والصلاة لأجل من أحببت تتردد في قلبك, وأنشودة الحمد والثناء مرتمسة على شفتيك.
-خليل جبران
