Arabic vocabulary
مَحْرُوقِ is how you say “burnt” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَخَرَجَتْ إِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَإِذَا هِيَ كَالْرَّغِيفِ الْمَحْرُوقِ
She went out to the oven, and behold, she was like a burnt loaf.
الْمَحْرُوقِ — the burnt. This is a passive-participle, a 'having-been-burnt' descriptive word, here describing the loaf. It agrees with that noun and shares its genitive case, the ending matching because Arabic adjectives copy the case, gender, and definiteness of the noun they describe. So its form is dictated by the loaf it qualifies, completing the grim simile.
