Birthday Present - Resonance

ن وَ اَلْقَلَمِ وَ مٰا يَسْطُرُونَ

Father sent me a happy birthday message that started with “Noon va Alqalam va Maa Yastoroon”. Congratulations my daughter on your birthday on the day of the pen.

Nuun. By the pen, and by what they write. By the grace of your Lord, you are not insane. In fact, you will have an unending reward. And you are of a great moral character. (The Quran, 68:1-4)

The inventive qalam strokes in this piece are inspired by crescents in the framework of Nastalique, preserving the primitive spirit of the script.
