الخَط نكتبُ البَيْتَ الشّعرِيَّ الآتِي بِخَطِّ النَّسْخِ ، ثُمَّ بِخَطِّ الرُّقْعَةِ، وَنُلاحِظُ رَسْمَ الحَرْفَيْنِ الآتِيَيْنِ: (ر، ت) تأبى الرماحُ إِذا اجتمعن تكسرا وَإِذا افترقن تكسرت احادا تأبى الرماح إذا اجتمعن تكسرا وإذا افترقن تكسرت آحادا

The following verse is written in Naskh script, then in Ruq'ah script, and we observe the drawing of the two following letters: (R, T) The spears refuse to break when gathered, but if separated, they break individually. We compare between a man who works in one of the factories, earning his livelihood by the sweat of his brow, and another man who extends his hand to people begging, in no less than five lines. ⟶ (sentence continues on next page)
