The first three lines of one of his poems:

Do not reproach me! For reproach is temptation— And cure me with that which is my ailment (wine).

It (the wine) is yellow, and knows no sorrow— If a rock were to drink it, it would fly with joy.

It is poured by a creature with a vagina, but wearing the clothes of he who possesses a penis (a young woman dressed in men's clothes)— She has two lovers: a sodomite and a fornicator.

To be completed.

• Critic, relent!
  Your hope for repentance
  Will meet with disappointment.
  For this is the life,
  Not desert tents,
  Not camel's milk!

• You, mad to expect repentance,
  Tear your robe all you want;
  I will never repent!
  • Diwan, 11–12^{[citation needed]}

• I bought abandon dear
  And sold all piety for pleasure.
  My own free spirit I have followed,
  And never will I give up lust.
  • Diwan, 164^{[citation needed]}
