How to say “traps” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
من النساء وللنساء حبائل الشيطان المكار،
From the women and for the women are the cunning traps of the deceitful Satan,
حَبَائِلُ — traps. This is the delayed subject of the sentence, the thing that exists 'for the women', and it heads a possessive pairing meaning 'the traps of Satan'. Being the front of that pairing, it stays bare of 'the' and takes its definiteness from the owner named next.
