as harmless as a bleating lamb/useless as red lights in GTA
If what's meant by کبریت بی خطر has to do with being harmless, you could say things like 'as harmless as a bleating lamb' or 'as inoffensive as a flight of bird sweeping through the air. And if کبریت بی خطر has to do with being useless, you could say things like useless as red lights in GTA/useless as the ueue in queue.
