$59.90

Paper print of an original Arabic calligraphy artwork by Kamil Dow.

Arabic text in English:
“I met you sowing tears in Wadi Saleeb. I saw the houses muzzled and the silence squatting in sticky blood in the streets / The windows are blinded by bricks, their shrouds are weaved by a spider / … / My shadow flees away rattling in the rifts of the houses / … / And the memory of grass quails from under the armpits of the stones / And from the trunks of trees / A daffodil’s seed closes the palm of its hand firmly in the earth / On the passions of seasons / A vine, whose throne was ruined, hides suns and laments of a dove / My steps kiss the cheeks of the soil / I call / but the echo staggers back to me / I perforate the beads of tears to make a necklace / And a rosary / For my prayers.” (Hanna Abu Hanna)

Arabic text (original):

“لقيتك تستنبتين الدّموع بوادي الصّليب. رأيتُ البيوت تُكمّ، ويقعي السّكون دمًا لزجًا في الدروب / تُعَمَّى النّوافذ بالطّوب ينسج أكفانها عنكبوت / … / ويهرب ظلّي منّي يحشرج بين سلوع البيوت / … / وتنفر ذاكرة العشب من تحت إبط الحجر / وساق الشّجر / وتغلق بذرة نرجسةٍ كفّها في التّراب / على خَلَجات المواسم / ودالية قوّضوا عرشها / تخبي الشّموس وبوحَ الحمائم / يقبِّلُ خطوي خدّ الأديم / وشوق الدّيار احتراق دمٍ وعتاب نبيّ / أنادي / ولكن صداي يعود إليّ / وأثقب من خرزات الدّموع قلادة / ومسبحةً للعبادة.” (حنا أبو حنا)

  • “Charity Never Faileth” – Arabic Calligraphy Paper Print by Kamil Dow

    $59.90

    Paper print of an original Arabic calligraphy artwork by Kamil Dow.

    Arabic text in English:
    “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-8)

    Arabic text (original):

    “إن كنت أتكلم بألسنة الناس والملائكة ولكن ليس لي محبة، فقد صرت نحاسا يطن أو صنجا يرن. وإن كانت لي نبوة، وأعلم جميع الأسرار وكل علم، وإن كان لي كل الإيمان حتى أنقل الجبال، ولكن ليس لي محبة، فلست شيئا. وإن أطعمت كل أموالي، وإن سلمت جسدي حتى أحترق، ولكن ليس لي محبة، فلا أنتفع شيئا المحبة تتأنى وترفق. المحبة لا تحسد. المحبة لا تتفاخر، ولا تنتفخ. ولا تقبح، ولا تطلب ما لنفسها، ولا تحتد، ولا تظن السوء. ولا تفرح بالإثم بل تفرح بالحق. وتحتمل كل شيء، وتصدق كل شيء، وترجو كل شيء، وتصبر على كل شيء. المحبة لا تسقط أبدا.” (1 كورنثوس 13: 1-8)
