There are (at least) two different senses of "like" in English, but the
Klingon /parHa'/ only acounts for one of them. It's *not* the sense
you're looking for here; it's the sense in "I like chocolate."
We don't have a device for simile in Klingon, but you can try various
circumlocutions, such as
bIreHDI' tera'ngan Darur
