Four lines of love poetry by Bahai Al-Din Zuhair (1186-1258) are written to form the shape of an anatomical heart.
Zuhair was a celebrated poet from modern-day Iraq and was also regarded by many as the best calligrapher of his time.

“I fell in love with you, not from a vision that you offered
And the heart perceives what eyesight does not perceive
I fascinated you with abstract descriptions
At the heart, there are meanings that have pictures
People have mentioned what you have in mind
My thought was imagined above what they mentioned
When will my eyes see from you, what my ears make
The news explains what has been the most beautiful of the news

قلب زهير

كتبت أربع أبيات من قصيدة غزل للشاعر بهاء الدين زهير (1186-1258) لتشكّل رسم تشريحي للقلب.

كان زهير شاعرًا مشهورًا من العراق الحديث(العصر الأيوبي) ، وقد اعتبره الكثيرون أنه أفضل خطاط في عصره.
تقول الأبيات:

“إِنّي عَشِقتُكَ لا عَن رُؤيَةٍ عَرَضَت وَالقَلبُ يُدرِكُ ما لا يُدرِكُ البَصَر
فُتِنتُ مِنكَ بِأَوصافٍ مُجَرَّدَةٍ في القَلبِ مِنها مَعانٍ ما لَها صُوَر
وَالناسُ قَد ذَكَروا ما فيكَ مِن شِيَمٍ وَقَد تَخَيَّلَ فِكري فَوقَ ماذَكَروا
مَتى تَرى مِنكَ عَيني ما وَعَت أُذُني وَيَشرَحُ الخُبرُ ماقَد أَجمَلَ الخَبَرُ”

Le Coeur de Zuhair

Quatre lignes de poésie amoureuse de Bahai Al-Din Zuhair (1186-1258) sont écrites pour former la forme d’un cœur anatomique.

Zuhair était un poète célèbre de l’Irak d’aujourd’hui et était également considéré par beaucoup comme le meilleur calligraphe de son temps.

“Je suis tombé amoureux de toi, pas d’une vision que tu m’as offerte
Et le cœur perçoit ce que la vue ne perçoit pas
Je t’ai fasciné par les descriptions abstraites
Au cœur, il y a des significations qui ont des images
Les gens ont mentionné ce que vous avez en tête
Ma pensée a été imaginée au-dessus de ce qu’ils ont mentionné
Quand mes yeux verront-ils de toi, ce que font mes oreilles
L’actualité explique quelle a été la plus belle des nouvelles”
