From a poem (From the Papers of Abu Nuwwas) by Egyptian poet Amal Dunqul (my translation):
"Don't ask me if the Qur'an was
Created or Uncreated
Ask me if the Sultan is
a Thief or half a Prophet!!...
I was in Karbala'
He told me that Husayn
Died for a drop of water!...
He died for a drop of water!
Serve me, o boy, day and night
Serve me...
Maybe with wine..
I can forget blood."
