Know how to ask for help in Arabic before you have an actual emergency. By learning a few simple Arabic words and phrases for emergencies, you can save valuable time in a crisis.</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
The simplest way to ask for assistance is to say <b>saa</b>'<b>adinii</b><b>!</b>, which means Help me! Of course, different situations require different kinds of help. For example, if you're experiencing a legal emergency of some kind, you want to ask for the police (<b>shurTa</b>), a police officer (<b>shurTii</b>), or the police station (<b>markaz ash-shurTa</b>). If you're experiencing a serious legal emergency you might also want to say "Where is the American Embassy?" (<b>ayna as-sifaara al-amriikiiya</b><b>?</b>).</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Most emergencies that happen in foreign countries, however, are medical. The most efficient way to get the help you need is to know how to ask for the right kind of help and to be able to explain what's wrong.</div>
<div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 8px; margin-top: 8px; padding: 0px;">
Getting the right kind of help usually depends on getting to the right person. You can use the following vocabulary words help you get to the right person for the situation.</div>
<ul class="level-one" style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; padding: 0px;">

</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">In most Arab countries, pharmacists often have medical training and can recommend and provide suitable medicines for common ailments, so people often go directly to the pharmacist for common problems, instead of a doctor.</span></div>

Once you are able to talk to the right person, you can use the following words to explain what's wrong.</div>

<br /><strong><em>WHAT IS  MUWASHSHA  ?!</em></strong>(موشح <em>muwaššaḥ</em>  literally means "girdled" in Classical Arabic; plural <em>muwāshshaḥāt</em> موشحات or <em>tawāshīḥ</em> تواشيح</h3>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
an Arabic poetic genre in strophic form developed in Muslim Spain in the 11th and 12th centuries. From the 12th century onward, its use spread to North Africa and the Muslim Middle East.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
The muwashshah is both the product and a microcosm of the cultural conditions peculiar to al-Andalus. Its linguistic complexity reflects the fluid and diverse linguistic situation of the peninsula’s population. The muwashshah embodies the flexible and changing relation between the written language (classical Arabic), as well as between these languages and the oral forms (the Arabic spoken in Andalusia; Romance; and Mozarabic, the dialect formed from the mixing of Romance and Arabic). It reflects life in the court and on the streets; the sociocultural relations between various ethnic groups, and between the sexes; and even the tensions and rapprochement between secular and religious interests. . . . </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">
<strong> THE FORMS </strong>The muwashshaḥ is written in Classical Arabic, and its subjects are those of Classical Arabic poetry—love, wine, court figures. It sharply differs in form, however, from classical poetry, in which each verse is divided into two metric halves and a single rhyme recurs at the end of each verse. The muwashshaḥ is usually divided into five strophes, or stanzas, each numbering four, five, or six lines. A master rhyme appears at the beginning of the poem and at the end of the strophes, somewhat like a refrain; it is interrupted by subordinate rhymes. A possible scheme is ABcdcdABefefABghghABijijABklklAB. The last AB, called kharjah, or markaz, is usually written in vernacular Arabic or in the Spanish Mozarabic dialect; it is normally rendered in the voice of a girl and expresses her longing for her absent lover. Such verses make it probable that the muwashshaḥ was influenced by some kind of European Romance oral poetry or song.<br />
