Its probably a font issue, do you have it in another format, scan/screen grab or link?

I think it's something to do with numbers or zero?

Be a number in life and do not be zero

Top one is Life
Bottom one is He Lives

Translated by an Arabic guy in the office who reads, writes and speaks Arabic and who is now looking at me funny.

Haha laugh Up yours. smile

Translations sound about right, though my Arabic is very basic. If you are planning this as a tattoo I would think twice. At best most Arabic speakers will find it a bit strange.
