The Story

I tasked myself with art's embrace..
Oh, how enchanting is the art's grace!
Along the years, I've lost my prime.
In youth's bloom.. Through verse and line..
With each line I’ve carefully scribed,
A part of my life takes its flight..

- Sayed Ibrahim (1897 CE - 1994 CE), a renowned Egyptian calligrapher and poet, served as a professor of Arabic calligraphy at Dar Al-Ulum College and the American University in Cairo, within the realm of the School of Royal Calligraphy Improvement. He stands as a continuation of the legacy of Egyptian calligraphy masters, shaping the art across 70 years. Many calligraphers in Egypt and the Arab world were nurtured under his guidance, earning him the title "Dean of Arabic Calligraphy" bestowed upon him by his devoted disciples.
