قارئ و مترجم منتهياً برحال تائه بين الكلمات في كون الترجمة بكل ما يحمله الترحال من معنى الشوق والغربة هذا ما أصف به نفسي مترجماً، وأما ترجمتي فاسمها هو الجرم الصغير الذي انطوى فيه الكون حيث ما يعتري مخيلتي بثلاث كلمات: الترجمة، و القراءة، وكوب قهوة. من ألهمني لأصبح مترجماً ليس شخصاُ ولكن قدري الذي كتبه الله لي حيث قادني بكل خطوة لهذا الكون المليء حبا وشغفاً فألهمتني
الكلمات التي ألهمت محمود درويش وغسان كنفاني ونزار قباني وزكريا تامر وغيرهم وألهمني ما قرأت عن بيت الحكمة في صباي حيث أسس العرب علم

reader, translator , coffeeaholic , deep, sensitive, consecutive and simultaneous interpreter , literature reviewer, and multlingual. being characterised like this will let you live on this planet as a traveller who is lost between cultures, languages, and words with all of the feelings of longing to homeland, homesickness, and losing settlemnet.
This is what I can best describe myself with as a small star, planet , or a star of universe, but within me is enfolded the entire universe .
what I believe that paradise is a cup of coffee, novels with all languages, translation, and a calm violin music.
what ispired me to be a translator is my destiny not any person. This destiny that made me discover the universe of translation deeply to the extent I fall in love with the lost feelings and with the idea that nothing is waiting for me except the hug of the sky to be settled there. to find peace, after being a refugee on this planet , a refugee who feels that he is not belonging to any place or corner even here .
diving deeper than all humans in other's writings to be able to live all the lives that any human here can live and to try to feel all of human feelings. The words of Mahmoud Darwish, Ghassan kanafani, and other writers are my identity here. as Arab scholars in the Abbasid era started translation and established all of this , I became more and more lost in this universe with a wierd feeling of adoring such lost.
