The Worlds of Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

مسكين هذا الجد، فلولا عقله الخفيف لكان شيخًا من شيوخ الأزهر أو داعية من الدعاة الكبار، لا مسخة في أفواه الناس وحرفوشًا من حرافيش الشوارع!

Poor grandfather: had it not been for his light head, he would have been a sheikh of al-Azhar or one of the great preachers, not a laughing-stock on people's lips and a ragamuffin of the streets.
