The Worlds of Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

ألا أسمع وسوسة الشيطان وأرجع إلى بلدي بجماله وقبحه، بقنوطه وضحكاته، وأحرص على أن يكون لي وطن له نبض وعروق، وليس شيئًا مطمورًا في دهاليز القلب وعتامات الغربة والشتات..

That I should not listen to the devil's whisper, but go back to my country with its beauty and its ugliness, its despair and its laughter, and make sure I have a homeland with a pulse and veins—not something buried in the corridors of the heart and the darkness of exile and dispersion.
