A quote from the works and poetry of Abul Tayyeb al-Mutanabi (915-965)
فالخيـلُ و الليـلُ و البيـداءُ تعـرفني ... والسيـفُ والرمـحُ والقرطاسُ و القلمُ
The English translation for it is as follows...
(In his most famous line, al-Mutanabbi once boasted of himself)
“The desert knows me well, the night and the mounted men.
The battle and the sword, the paper and the pen”
