He was an Arab philosopher, poet, and writer from Ma'arrat al-Nu'man, Syria. Because of his controversially irreligious worldview, he is known as one of the "foremost atheists" of his time according to Nasser Rabbat.
There s one elegy i like from his poems in regards to life and being born.
“This is my father`s crime against me, which I myself committed against none” (hādha janāhu abī ʿalayya wa-mā janaytu ʿalā aḥadin).
Your loss made my heart a bird
That swore off all nests,
Days spent soaring and plunging, its wings
Swift against the turns of fate.
Death calls you by name; like a snake bite it tears
Me in half, spitting poison in my ear.
You wail. I am bound to crumble by it,
As I am bound to leave my bed, though too
Tired to face the day, as night passes like
Lamplight fading in the darkness before dawn.
anyway, what else can we do about it, just serve our time till our time ends 😊
