My House: a short story in Arabic with English Translation

Today, I want to show you a short story in Arabic with English translation.

The title is my house.




First of all, I wrote the story in Arabic, then I translated it word by word. Finally, I translated all the sentences into English.

Below is the story

بَيْتِيْ

بَيْتِيْ صَغِيْرٌ مُرِيْحٌ. لَهُ طَابَقَانَ


فِي الطَّابَقِ الأّوَّلِ غُرْفَةُ الاِسْتِقْبَالِ وَحَمَّامٌ وَمَطْبَخٌ


فِي الطَّابَقِ الثَّانِيْ مَكْتَبَةٌ وَثَلاَثُ غُرَفٍ لِلنَّوْمِ


أَمَامَ الْبَيْتِ حَدِيْقَةٌ فِيْهَا أَشْجَرٌ كَبِيْرَةٌ وَأَزْهَارٌ جَمِيْلَةٌ وَحَوْضٌ لِلْأَسْمَاكِ
