How to say “restraints” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ويمر في أغراضه لولا أن العقل حجوز،
And he pursues his desires, were it not that reason restrains him.
حُجُوزٌ — confines. This noun is the predicate completing 'that reason is a restrainer', in the subject case as the second half of the 'that' clause. The indefinite ending presents reason as a barrier in general terms, finishing the thought that only reason holds the youth back.
