Arabic calligraphy text in English:
“She walks on the road’s chest / She sings the melody of withered roses / She collects thorns / And some remnants of the rain / For the path is long / And the sun burns the singer’s voice / And the anthem / My hand spills / The foreignness of the evening / And hide the moon / The light follows the night convoy / It comes with the journey of staying.” (Rushdi al-Madhi)

Arabic calligraphy text in Arabic (original):

“تدب على صدر الطريق / تغني لحن الورود الذابلة / تلم الاشواك / وبعض بقايا المطر، / فالدرب طويل / والشمس تحرق صوت المغني / والنشيد / يدي تسح منها / غربة المساء / وخبئوا القمر / فالضوء آت وراء قافلة الليل / آت مع رحلة البقاء.” (رشدي الماضي)
