«سِيدِي مَا أَخَفُّهْ لَا فِي إِيدُهْ وَلَا فِي طَرْفُهْ»

The picture is of a master who carries nothing at all: his hand is empty and so is the fold of cloth gathered at his waist, where small belongings could be tucked. Read approvingly, it describes someone with little to haul and nothing to delay him, able to move from place to place unhindered.

The same empty hand and empty fold can also mark poverty, describing a person who simply owns nothing worth carrying. Both readings remain open, and the surrounding situation shows whether the speaker means easy mobility or destitution.

Apply it to someone who travels or relocates without baggage or ties, or, more pointedly, to someone with no possessions. The person and the situation decide whether it praises unencumbered movement or points to poverty.
