Hi everyone,
I'm working on a Palestinian text, and wanted to confirm what this means.
Is it something like, 'yellowed eyes from a life of hardship'?
The sentence is here:
أبكي على عامل ينظف السيارات، بوجه محروق من معانقة شمس الله غير الحانية، وعينين مصفرّتين من تناسل شظف الحياة في إمارة غنية جداً
Thank you very much!

interminably full of hardship
I initially thought of "prolific hardship" which, to me, sounds a bit weird.
I also considered "generic/generative" but thought it unauthentic.
I finally settled on the suggestion above.
You may move around the modifier as you see fit.
