Description
So I re-do of an earlier calligraphic pony picture I did of Luna. This time following the same experimentation I did with her sister: Celestia.Done all in Arabic writing, molded to fit the form. So thus, translation, or what I intended this to translate as:
Head: Luna
Crown: Royal
Neck: Moon
Mane (from top to bottom): Stars, Tolerance, Love
Sort of put "moon" at a random spot. But ah well.
Celestia's: [link]
Original (what I started with): [link]
EDIT - Holy cow guys, forty something favorites on this over the course of a single night? Shit son, I don't think I can get around to everyone to thank them!
I really appreciate it, I hope you all know. I'll *try* to hit everyone's pages, but I can't make promises. But know I really, really appreciate the plethora of favorites here.
EDIT 5/18/12 - Since someone was nice enough to go through and check my grammar I have been notified of some elementary errors on "Love" and "tolerance". I guess I forgot the diacritics above the the the taa' which I promptly fixed, as well as changing "love" around to remove a bit that would have been confusing.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm an Arab and Brony so of course my brony friend linked me to this and asked me to translate. Got all of them except tolerance.
Love is spelled a bit wrong. It's حب The extra letter threw me off.
Tolerance needs two dots above the first letter: تسامح Without it, I had no idea what you were going for (Me and my friend thought it was some root of forgiveness.)
Took me a while to realise the head and neck were Luna and Moon in English (though I thought the Arabic for Moon would work as well قمر )
Oh and in your first pic of Luna, the neck says "'Little" in English.
Please don't take this comment the wrong way, this is now one of my favorite MLP fan pieces. Just wanted to point out a few things to help you.

No problem. I was hoping that someone would, at some point correct my errors, so this was a nice surprise.
So, I guess I need to change up the spelling some. Shouldn't be too terribly difficult, Lol.
Thanks for taking the time to correct my errors. My bad on my part.

I do plan to do more, although being lazy it may be a while before I do new ones. Though, I do plan to fix up this today.
And thanks for the watch too.

I hope it does.
I tried submitting the Celestia version but never saw it up. And I sent the "prototype" of this to them and got a note about it being put in. But as with Celestia, never saw it.

Despite having made this piece, I'm not. Although I've studied the Arabic language a little at times and do have a great deal of respect for it and the culture. I adore how it comes together on things like this.
And thank you.

The concept has been considered, but I wouldn't want to make the commitment to it. I couldn't even take regular Christian church services.
No-religion is fine for me.
