زهدُكَ في راغبٍ فيكَ نقصانُ حظٍّ، ورغبتُكَ في زاهدٍ فيكَ ذلُّ نفس.
Your lack of interest in someone who desires you is a loss of fortune, and your desire for someone who has no interest in you is humiliation.
زهدُكَ في راغبٍ فيكَ نقصانُ حظٍّ، ورغبتُكَ في زاهدٍ فيكَ ذلُّ نفس.
Your lack of interest in someone who desires you is a loss of fortune, and your desire for someone who has no interest in you is humiliation.
These quotes come from Alone with the Alone, a 264-page bilingual hardcover of 113 quotes from Ali Ibn Abi Talib, with footnotes and an afterword.
