a slender reed-like bird Explanation: The Arabic term "عصفور قصب رقيق" can be translated into English as "a delicate bird of reeds" or "a slender reed-like bird." It's essential to recognize that "عصفور قصب رقيق" serves as a figurative expression frequently utilized in poetry and literature to conjure an image of fragility and delicacy, rather than representing a specific bird species. In the provided North African text, this phrase conveys that certain individuals' bodies were likened to tender birds made of reeds, drenched in the rain. This comparison poetically portrays a sense of vulnerability and delicateness when describing these individuals. https://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&client=ms-android-sam... |
