Mistakes like arrows that pierce the target. خواطئاً كأنه نواقر

"Earths that pierce the target" is a proverb used to describe a man who misses, but whose mistake is closer to the truth than that of others. The word "mistakes" is in the accusative case, implying that he shot mistakes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This can be expressed in several English proverbs or expressions, depending on the intended meaning. The closest example is:

Even his mistakes hit the mark.

Or:

He misses with uncanny accuracy.

(Meaning: He makes mistakes, but his errors are very close to the mark.)

For a more literal meaning:

A lucky shot is still a shot.

However, this last one emphasizes luck more than skill.

The Arabic proverb "Khawati'an ka'annahu nawaqir" means that a man may make an apparent mistake, but the consequences of his error are more accurate than others', as if his arrows—though seemingly off—are perfectly aimed and hit the mark.

النواقر، السهام النوافذ في الغرض. يضرب للرجل يخطئ فيكون خطؤه أقرب إلى الصواب من صواب غيره. ونصب خواطئاً على تقدير رمى خواطئ.

 

khadhla whose is criticize by rasuf خضلة تعيبها رصوف

 A woman with a delicate, soft body is criticized for having a small vulva. The word "khadhla" refers to a woman who is soft and delicate. "Rasuf" refers to a woman with a small vulva, specifically one so narrow that penetration is impossible, similar to a woman with a hymenal rupture. "Rasf" means to join or bring something together. The proverb means that this flawed "rasuf" (vagina) is used to criticize this woman's delicate body. It is used to describe someone who criticizes others while possessing a similar flaw themselves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This proverb is used to describe someone who criticizes others while possessing the same flaw. A similar English equivalent is:

"The pot calling the kettle black." This means, "The pot criticizes the kettle for being black." It is said of someone who criticizes others for a fault they themselves have.

Other related expressions include:

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." This means, "Those whose own faults are obvious shouldn't attack others."

"The fault-finder has faults of his own." This means, "The fault-finder is full of faults himself."

However, the most common and closest to the Arabic proverb is:

"The pot calling the kettle black."

 الخضلة، المرأة الناعمة التارة. والرصوف، المرأة الصغيرة الفرج. ويقال: الضيقة الفرج حتى لا يكون للذكر فيه مسلك، وهي مثل الرتقاء. والرصف، ضم الشيء بعضه إلى بعض. يعني أن هذه الرصوف المعيوبة تعيب هذه الناعمة. يضرب لمن يعيب الناس وبه عيب.

A ring of gold or silver. خوق من السام بجيد أوقص

  "Sam" is the plural of "sama," meaning gold veins. "Jayyid awqas" means short. This proverb is used to describe someone of noble lineage but base in character.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This proverb is used to describe someone of noble birth and high lineage, but of low character or weak character. A similar English equivalent is:

"A good tree bears bad fruit."

"Noble birth does not guarantee noble character."

"A gold ring in a pig's snout."

This is said of something precious in an inappropriate place, or of someone who outwardly appears noble but lacks true nobility.

A very close proverb in meaning is:

"A gentleman by birth, not by behavior."

"Noble in lineage, not in deed."

This is closest to the spirit of the Arabic proverb.

الخوق، الحلقة من الذهب أو الفضة. والسام جمع سامة وهي عروق الذهب. والجيد الأوقص، القصير. يضرب للشريف الآباء الدنيء في نفسه.

The wine of Abu al-Rawqa' does not intoxicate . خمر أبي الروقاء لست تسكر

 This is said of a rich man who has no favor to anyone, nor any kindness to anyone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some of the closest English proverbs and expressions to this meaning—that is, the rich person who is neither helpful nor charitable—are:

"Riches without charity are nothing."

"A rich man who gives nothing is poor at heart."

"As useless as a tree that bears no fruit."

A very similar common proverb is:

"He is rich, but good for nothing."

"Rich, but of no use to anyone."

And also:

"A miser grows rich by seeming poor; an extravagant man grows poor by seeming rich."

This proverb criticizes stinginess in the face of wealth.

يضرب للغني الذي لا فضل له على أحد، ولا إحسان إلى إنسان.
