Les mondes de Kamal Ruhayyim عوالم كمال رُحيّم

الأرض دي يا ابن أخويا مش أردب قمح وللا قنطار قطن تبيع وتشتري فيه، دي زي النَّفسَ الواحد يفضل متبِّت فيه لحد ما روحه تطلع، اتولدنا وكبرنا عليها وعلى خيرها

This land, nephew, isn't a bushel of wheat or a bale of cotton you buy and sell; it's like the breath a man clings to until his soul leaves him. We were born and raised on it and on its bounty.
