The Worlds of Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

فهكذا هو؛ خصوصًا عندما شاخ، يفكر في الخير ولا يفعله ويصمم على الشر ولا يستطيع..

That is how he is, especially now that he has grown old: he thinks of doing good and does not do it, and resolves on evil and cannot.

From the novel Habashi’s Café · Chapter 22
