"Imaginary mills grind no flour"
"<thought>The user wants an eloquent Arabic (Fusha) translation of "Imaginary mills grind no flour".
I need to capture the essence of the proverb, which means that mere imagination or wishful thinking doesn't produce real results.
Literal translation:
"طواحين وهمية لا تطحن دقيقًا" - This is too literal and lacks the proverbial feel.
Consider the meaning:
- Imaginary mills: Things that exist only in thought, not in reality.
- Grind no flour: Produce no tangible results, are unproductive.
Possible Arabic proverbs/expressions that convey similar ideas:
- "مجرد الأماني لا تجلب الحقائق" (Mere wishes don't bring realities) - A bit too explanatory.
- "الأحلام لا تشبع جوعًا" (Dreams don't satisfy hunger) - Similar, but "mills" and "flour" are specific.
Let's try to keep the "mills" and "flour" imagery if possible, but make it sound natural and proverbial in Arabic.
"طواحين الخيال لا تطحن طحينًا" - Still a bit literal. "طحين" is flour. "طحن" is to grind.
How about focusing on the futility of such mills?
"طواحين الوهم لا تطحن شيئًا" (Mills of illusion grind nothing) - Better, but "flour" is specific.
Let's try to make "imaginary mills" more poetic.
"طواحين الأوهام" (Mills of illusions/delusions)
"طواحين الخيال" (Mills of imagination)
And "grind no flour" needs to convey the lack of tangible output.
"لا تنتج طحينًا" (don't produce flour) - A bit weak.
"لا تطحن دقيقًا"
