~ Al-Mutanabbi ~

و أسمعت كلماتي من به صمم أنا الذي نظر الأعمى إلى أدبي
والسيف والرمح والقرطاس والقلم الخيل والليل والبيداء تعرفني
ʾAnā l-ladhī naẓara l-ʾaʿmā ʾilā ʾadab-ī Wa-ʾasmaʿat kalimāt-ī man bi-hī ṣamamu
Al-ḫaylu wa-l-laylu wa-l-baydāʾu taʿrifu-nī Wa-s-saifu wa-r-rumḥu wa-l-qirṭāsu wa-l-qalamu.
“I am the one whose literature can be seen (even) by the blind
And whose words are heard (even) by the deaf.
The steed, the night and the desert all know me
As do the sword, the spear, the scripture and the pen.”
“Ta quen cưỡi ngựa trong sa mạc mênh mông
Quen với gươm giáo hơn là giấy bút.”
