Its a simple exercise and well break it down in 3 easy steps.

Step 1

Tools and Materials

You ll need

Step 2

• Dip pen in ink and begin writing with slightly tilted qalam. While making stroke with qalam,move it in a way that when you end the letter the qalam ends flat in writing the first part of Bay.

• Begin the second half of Arabic letter Bay by continuing with the full Qat. As you glide the qalam upward,the stroke should be very fine.
• End the letter Bay using fine point of qalam.
