«وَلَفَظَتْهُ مَعَاوِزُ الْإِرْفَاقِ إِلَى مَفَاوِزِ الْآفَاقِ»
The need for assistance cast him into the wilderness of distant horizons.
Maʿāwiz suggests needs or shortages; irfāq means help or considerate support; mafāwiz are wide, desolate expanses; and āfāq are horizons or far regions.
The rhyme sharpens a recognisable scene: having lost the means to remain, the traveller is thrust toward uncertain roads.
