«فَهَلْ مِنْ حُرٍّ آسٍ أَوْ سَمْحٍ مُوَاسٍ؟»
Is there then any honourable comforter or generous helper?
The closing interrogative pulls the audience into the scene: after narrating hardship, the speaker asks who will console or help. The question is an invitation to action, not merely a request for a name.
Its paired descriptions of generosity and compassion intensify the appeal. They stir sympathy; they do not by themselves establish every claimed misfortune.
