Takieddine took off to a ranch owned by his parents in Baakleen's outskirts. There, he was keen on writing articles, constructing rhyming poetry, and translating a novel entitled "The Story of a Poor Young Man" from French to Arabic. He passed away with only 10 pages left for translation, so Khalil Takieddine, his nephew from his late brother, embarked on translating the remaining pages.[1]
