Maa fii jamel fii sayartak

I'd been meaning to try this for a while so decided to give it a go.

Back when I was living in the UAE myself and another teacher from Lebanon would go to the mosque near the Sharjah Cricket Stadium to spin a Pokéstop most evenings. One day he turned and asked me if I were learning any Arabic, to which I said yes but not very well. He then told me to say something in Arabic to which I replied

ما في جمل في سيارتك

or maa fii jamel fii sayartak. This means there is not a camel in your car which was correct until he bought a car, and a stuffed camel to go in it.

Anyway, his father is a calligrapher. So I thought I'd have a go at turning it into a camel kufic style.
