جوارح is how you say “senses” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
ومع كل فجر، جدّد العهد أن أكون اليوم أصدق قليلًا، أرحم قليلًا، أضبط جوارحي أكثر
And with each dawn, renew the covenant: to be a bit more truthful today, a bit more compassionate, and to control my senses better.
جَوَارِحِي — my senses. 'jawarih' = 'limbs, sense-organs' (plural); '-i' = 'my', so 'my limbs'.
From: On Sincerity →توحيدٌ يُفرِد اللهَ بالقصد، وتعظيمٌ يُثمرُ الخشية، واستحضارُ عملٍ يُهذِّبُ الجوارح
Tawhid that singles out Allah in purpose, glorification that produces awe, and mindfulness of action that refines the limbs.
الْجَوَارِحَ — the limbs. 'the limbs', accusative as what gets refined. The body's acting parts, brought into line by that awareness.
