“From the poem “The Redeemer”.” (Fadwa Tuqan)Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):
“في احتدام الدم والنار وطغيان الجنون / بسط الفادي نبيّ الحبّ كفّيه علينا / وافتدانا / آه ما أغلى الفداء! / واشترانا / آه ما أغلى الفداء! / واشترانا / آه ما أغلى الثمن! / وعلى وخز مسامير الألم / وعلى حزّ سكاكين العياء / أسند الرأس وأرخى / هدب جفنيه ونام / وبعينيه رؤى الحب وأحلام السلام.” (فدوى طوقان)
