Arabic to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a text where a young girl has just seen some robbers break into her father's library.

Does this mean that the 'words were groaning?'

كتب والدي الطبية كانت تداس بأقدامهم، وساءني هذا المنظر كان خادشا للحياء أن ترزخ تلك الكلمات والأفكار تحت أقدام الجهل

Thank you!
