لقد أنزلت حاجاتي بواد غير ذي زرع
I deposited my needs in a barren valley where no crop grows.
The phrase biwādin ghayri dhī zarʿ is part of Qur'an 14:37. In the Quranic context it describes a physical valley; in the poem a barren place becomes an image for fruitless hopes or unrewarded needs.
This is a transfer of application: the verbal image remains recognizable, but its connection to “my needs” creates a new complaint.
