The Worlds of Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

هو بيتي.. فيه جَدي وهزلي، ودقات على الباب من أصحاب، وموطن سترني بعدما عز على أهل أبي حتى السؤال..

It is my home: my earnest and my jest are in it, friends' knocks on the door, and a shelter that covered me when my father's people couldn't even be bothered to ask after me.

From the novel Menorahs and Minarets · Chapter 12
