Kulu Ma Arahu huwa nazaraat-i-l- ya'asoub el-khatifa Explanation: This sounds like a story or a naarative version of a book. This could be the best translation in this context. Hope that helps. boushra |

لمحات اليعاسيب Explanation: Pronounced: LAMHAT Al-YA’ASEEB This is a literal translation, subject to context-based editing. YA’ASEEB is the plural of YA’SOOB, which, according to Al-Munjid, has three meanings: 1. Dragonfly 2. Male bee 3. Any member of the insect order Odonata or suborder Anisoptera The term originally meant “leader”. For instance, Shi’i praise recitations for Ali ibn abi Talib refer to him as يعسوب الدين وقائد الغر الميامين YA’SOOB AL-DEEN WA QA’ID AL-GHURR AL-MAYAMEEN The only reference I could find for “dragonfly glimpses” is in a lyric by Eric Hammer. Here is an excerpt: http://www.morssyphilitica.com/lyrics.htm From the Mors Syphilitica CD “Primrose” (1998) Lyrics © 1998 Eric Hammer “SPINNING ON RIBBON Rose and peach Grows ripe in your eyes With dragonfly glimpses ...” What the lyricist really meant is, of course, for him to decide. And yes, please give us more context. Fuad Al-Munjid, Al-Mawrid American Heritage Dictionary |
