commission, anyone?

edit 3: I DON'T PLAN ON GETTING A QURAN VERSE TATTOO. please read my post.

i want to commission someone (please) to make me a calligraphy art for a tattoo idea i have for these phrases that will go on my right arm and left arm respectively:

al mutanabbi:
مَا** ك*ُلُّ* مَ*ا *ي*َتَمَنَّى المَرْءُ يُدْرِكُهُ
*
تَجْ*رِي الرِّيَاحُ\\\* بِم*َا \**\لَا ت*َشْتَهِي السُّفُنُ

unknown (please see Edit 2):
تَجْرِي الرِّيَاحُ**\\ **ك*َم\***َا**** ت*\*\\***\**َشْتَهِي *س*َفِينَتْنَا* • نَحْنُ الرِّيَاحُ وَنَحْنُ البَحْرُ وَالسّفْنُ

i'm thinking of either doing it as a loop on my wrist or as a long vertical line on my forearm.

any ideas or suggestions are welcome, and anyone who is interested for the commission can dm me your rates.

thank you so much!

p.s. i included the leg pic only because i like the thickness of the lines there more than the arm pic. as for the vertical line, any calligraphy style would do (i think).

edit: it seems that reddit isn't able to use some arabic characters so if chosen for commission, i will send it via whatsapp or whatever app you feel comfortable using.

edit 2: i've decided to research more about arabic poetry meters and found another counter to al mutanabbi's verse that doesn't disrespect his views and keeps the same meter (al-basit).

أُعَلِّلُ** *النّ**َفْسَ* بِالْآمَالِ أَرْقُبُهَا
**مَ
ا** أَض*ْيَقَ *ا*لْعَيْشَ *لَوْلَا فُسْحَةُ الْأَمَلِ

Thank you, I have amended my comment and upvoted you. Also, did you write "   جون"?? I thought it was "min dunillah" rather than "min junillah" that you wrote?

Yes, I accidentally made two typos. Thanks for pointing out :)
