“Habibi. Hayati. Roohi. My love, my life, my soul, the words meant, but their meanings went deeper than that. Habibi was for friends and love that was real enough. Hayati was when love became an all-encompassing thing. Deeper and deeper, until one became the others life. Roohi was when a soul twined with its match and loved with the force of a thousand suns. When it slipped beneath the heart and tangled in the very fibres of an existence.” ― Hafsah Faizal, We Free the Stars
“You'll have me. No matter how thick the night, I will always be there to light your way.” ― Hafsah Faizal, We Free the Stars
