من الشرق ،من جهة الفجر،بزغ نور شارقة الثقافة ، زرعت بذرة العلم والمعرفة ،و تتوجت بالحكمة ، للصورة فيها كلمة ، فكتبتها بالصور وفاءاً لتلك المدينة التي عشت بها شطر عمري
و لتذكرني إن غبت عنها يوماً كما سأذكرها دوماً،هنا مقتطفات من الشارقة كاقتباسات من قصيدة شعرية طويلة تلامس شغاف القلب وتسكن الوجدان ... هنا بيت من الشعر الضوئى ، هنا الشارقة
From the East, from the direction of the dawn, the light of the Sharjah of Culture arose, which planted the seed of science and knowledge, and crowned it with wisdom, the picture has a word, so I wrote it with lights in faithfulness to that city in which I lived half of my life, and to remember me if i ever left it one day, as I will always remember it. Here are excerpts from Sharjah, as a quote from a long poem that touches the passion of the heart and mind ... Here is a verse of light poetry, here is Sharjah
