• Jamilla : He's not the Prince of Hassir. He's only the prince of liars. But charming.

• Jamilla : So we meet again, my prince.

  Hafiz : Let me feast my eyes on you. It really is you. This is a pleasure. After I'd given you up. How could anything so beautiful be so merciless, so cruel? We have a week of delirious happiness and suddenly you're gone. My nights are sleepless, my days burning sands. I didn't know who you were, where you were. I shouted the name Jamilla through every palace window. From Tehran to Mosul. There wasn't even an echo. Finally, I take the long journey home to Hassir, eh, my own little kingdom praying for a thunderbolt to explode you out of my heart. But no thunderbolt.

• Hafiz : There never was another woman in all the world I couldn't forget but you.

  Jamilla : You weren't looking for me in that miserable cafe where we found you.

  Hafiz : But how fortunate I was there. It was the hand of fate. Kismet!
