«وَاطْرَاحُ ذِي الْحُرْمَةِ غَيٌّ»
Casting aside someone owed respect is misdirection.
Iṭrāḥ is casting away or disregarding; dhū al-ḥurmah is a person with an acknowledged claim to respect; ghayy signifies going astray. The surrounding sentences also criticize denying those who place hope in a patron.
This is a strategy of istiʿṭāf—appealing for compassion. The petition converts a request for money into an apparent test of the addressee's regard for others and their legitimate expectations.
