سرت ار به چرخ ساید نخوری فریب عزت

که همان کف غبــــاری به هوا رسیده باشی

 

Get your head out of the clouds, don't give yourself airs

You  are  the same dust, just  blown  high  into the  airs

Welcome to Steemit. I tried to learn Quranic Arabic but it is very hard for a westerner. What is the source for your verse?

Thank you, nikflossus!

This is not a Quranic verse. This couplet is from the poetry of a poet who writes in Dari. His name is Mirza Abdul Qadir "Bedil." "Bedl" is his pen name.

Yes, Quranic Arabic is difficult. One has to understand the context of the verses, and only knowing Arabic won't be much help.
