ماwhat يُضيرُharms البَحرَthe sea أَمسىhas become زاخِراًfull and surging
ما يُضيرُ البَحرَ أَمسى زاخِراً
أَنthat رَمىthrew فيهِinto it غُلامٌa boy بِحَجَرwith a stone
أَن رَمى فيهِ غُلامٌ بِحَجَر
What harm does it do the sea, grown full and surging,
What harm would the sea sustain
that a boy has thrown a stone into it?
If a boy threw a pebble in its vast domain?
