Ahmed Bakheet glows

In a beautiful piece by Hamdy Reda currently exposed in Art-el-Lewa, Gize, Egypt, one reads in the gorgeous calligraphy crafted by Sameh Ishmaeil (rumours have that the traditional calligraphy schools in Egypt are to get no new student anymore, no more Ishmaeils, is it acceptable?):

Take it easy
It is not here
It is not there

There is an eerie pun there in the Arabic original tells me Monica Udler. It is a sufi poem. It glows. By Ahmed Bakheet.
