و لا يظنّ عاقل .. أن بيمنع مشمش ..
من خرجات السوق .. لو يبغى يِفرفش ..
و يدور .. و يتصابى .. بين الصبايا ..
و يشتري .. من أكل البساس .. المِقرمش ..
مشموش .. ما يبالي .. وش الجموس ..
ولا بفتاوي شرعنة .. صارت تِطرطش ..
لو يقترب أي مخلوقٍ .. من مشيمش ..
يلقاه أسدٍ .. له زئير .. و يِخربش ..

كنت أحاول التخريم ( إختصار الطريق العام من داخل الحواري ) لأصل إلى المركز التجاري حيث معرض iZone بحي الروضة على شارع الأمير سلطان ( بين الكيّال و صاري ) .. لأصل إلى هذا الدوّار داخل الحارة ( خلف المركز التجاري مباشرة ) و أجد هذا التيس مربوطاً بشجرة داخل الدوّار يسرح و يمرح كما يشاء على العشب الأخضر .. خير ! .. هذا التيس إبن التيس يأكل من عشب البلد بدون رقيب ولا حسيب !!!
أوقفت السيارة .. أقتربت منه ( أحب المغامرات ! ) .. إبتسم لي و هو يجترّ بعضاً من النجيلة .. صوّرته ( بعدما تأكدت من عدم وجود أي لافتة تقول ممنوع التصوير ) .. ثم بدأ التيس الداجن المفترس بالجري تجاهي فجريت تجاه سيارتي و هربت بالصورة ! 
و ما أجمل منظري و أنا أهرب من تيس !
حسبنا الله .. على كل تيس حيوان ياكل من المال العام بلا رقيب و لا حسيب ..

سبقني الأعزاء ملياني و طارق .. و هذا لا يمنع بأن ألحقهم بتدوينة عن الدخول الرسمي لبرنامج iQuran إلى متجر البرامج على الـiTunes .. و المدعو بالـApp Store .. فقد إنتظرناه طويلاً و ساورتنا الشكوك تجاهه .. و قد منّ الله علينا .. أشكر عزيزي فهد من سبل الهداية على كل جهوده .. و الحمد لله أولاً و أخيراً .. هذا من فضل ربّي يؤتي فضله من يشاء و الله ذو الفضل العظيم ..
لا شيء يوازي متعة قراءة تعليقات المسلمين و غير المسلمين على البرنامج .. المسلمون سعيدون .. و المشركون ساخطون .. أحد النصارى ( يسمي نفسه قلب الأسد ) يقول في أحد المنتديات لأصحابه إنظروا إلى برنامج iQuran لتعلموا أن المسلمين يحبون دينهم أكثر مما تحبون دينكم .. نعم نحن نحب ديننا أكثر مما تحبون دينكم ..
Okay guys…the SDK is out now. Muslims everywhere can enjoy the Quran on their iPhone. Seems that they must be more passionate about their faith than Christians, since WE STILL DON’T HAVE A NATIVE BIBLE APP!
هناك برامج كثيرة جديدة للأناجيل على الـApp Store .. و لكن أكثرها تعيسة التعامل و التصميم .. ناهيك عن إختلاف النسخ بينها .. و إفتقادها للحب و الفن و الإتقان ..
وَاللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ
و الحمد لله الذي بنعمه تتم الصالحات ..
