Welcome to Arabic Calligraphy Design. I practice traditional and contemporary Arabic calligraphy, and do custom calligraphy for tattoos, design work, and original pieces. All my work is hand-written, I do not use computer fonts in my designs. To get started, have a look at the Styles page to see some of the different styles I normally work in, or if you’re interested in a tattoo, click the Tattoos page. When you’re ready, send me an email at arabic.calligrapher@gmail.com, and we can work together on what you’d like designed.

Rumi On Love

Jalaleddin Muhammad Rumi wrote:

Why is your love so wise and skillful?
Why is your kindness so delicately-founded?
If love is not good, why do I burn in it?
And if it is good, what is this much ado for?

عشق تو چنین حکیم و استاد چراست
مهر تو چنین لطیف بنیاد چراست

بر عشق چرا سوزم اگر او خوش نیست
ور عشق خوش است اینهمه فریاد چراست
