تَشَبَّهَ فِي النَّحْوِ بِالأَخْفَشَيْنَ
فَجَاءَso he came بِأُعْجُوبَةٍwith a marvel مُطْرِفَهْamusing
فَجَاءَ بِأُعْجُوبَةٍ مُطْرِفَهْ
He modeled himself in grammar on the two al-Akhfashes;
In grammar, he emulated the two Akhfashes
so he came up with an amusing marvel.
So he came up with a wondrous oddity
وَلَمْand did not يِسْمَعِhear النَّحْوَgrammar لَكِنَّهُbut he
وَلَمْ يِسْمَعِ النَّحْوَ لَكِنَّهُ
قَرَاhe read مِنْهُof it شَيْئِاًsomething وَقَدْand indeed صَحَّفَهْhe misread it
قَرَا مِنْهُ شَيْئِاً وَقَدْ صَحَّفَهْ
He had not heard grammar taught, but he
He never heard grammar, yet
read some of it—and misread it.
He had read some of it and got it wrong
فَإِنْso if لَمْnot يَكُنْhe is أَخْفَشَdim-sighted النَّاظِرَيْنِthe two eyes
فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَخْفَشَ النَّاظِرَيْنِ
فَإِنَّthen indeed الفَتَىthe young man أَخْفَشُdim-sighted المَعْرِفَهْknowledge
فَإِنَّ الفَتَى أَخْفَشُ المَعْرِفَهْ
So if he is not dim-sighted in both eyes,
If he's not Akhfash the two beholders
the young man is certainly dim-sighted in knowledge.
Then the lad is Akhfash of cognizance
