Arabic vocabulary
سَهْوُ is how you say “heedless preoccupation” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَسَهْوُكَ فِي لَهْوِكَ عَمَّا قَدْ خُبِّئَ لَكَ
And your heedless preoccupation in your diversion from what has been stored for you!
وَسَهْوُكَ — and your heedless preoccupation. The leading wa- ('and') links this to the previous line as a parallel item, and the noun carries -ka ('your', male) at its end. It names a second blameworthy thing, 'your heedlessness', joined to the earlier delight as another fault being listed.
