تَسْتَكْبِرْ be arrogant
This is a present-tense verb in the jussive shape, 'be arrogant', forced into that clipped ending by the prohibitive la before it: 'do not be arrogant'. Arabic forms a negative command by putting la with the verb cut to this jussive form; the 'you' is built in, addressing a single male.

يَسْتَكْبِرُ are arrogant
