أَكْتُبُ بِخَطِّ الرُّقْعَةِ الْعِبَارَتَيْنِ الْآتِيَتَيْنِ مُرَاعِياً حَجْمَ الْحُرُوفِ وَالْكَلِمَاتِ وَشَكْلَ الْحَرْفَيْنِ (س - ش).

I will write the following two phrases in Ruq'ah script, paying attention to the size of the letters and words, as well as the shape of the letters 'seen' and 'sheen'.

قَالَ جُبُورٌ: كَمْ عُمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأَشْجَارِ؟

Jubour asked, "How old are these trees?"

قَالَ: لَهَا عَشَرَاتُ السِّنِينَ.

He replied, "They are decades old."

أُحَدِّدُ مِنَ الْعِبَارَةِ الْآتِيَةِ الْكَلِمَةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ بِخَطٍّ مُخْتَلِفٍ، ثُمَّ أَكْتُبُهَا بِخَطِّ الرُّقْعَةِ.

I will identify the word written in a different font in the following phrase and then rewrite it in Ruq'ah script.

أَحَبَّ الْفَلَّاحُ أَشْجَارَ السِّنْدِيَانِ لِأَنَّهَا تَتَثَبَّتُ بِالْأَرْضِ.

The farmer loved the oak trees because they hold fast to the ground.
