المعنى
To have the capability or power to accomplish a task or resolve a situation.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is a cornerstone of 'Ta'arof'. Even if you cannot help, offering by saying 'Kāri az dastam bar-mi-āyad?' shows you are a person of 'lotf' (grace). In Iranian offices, using this phrase shows you are a 'team player'. It sounds more collaborative than the individualistic 'I can do it'. Classical poets used this to contrast human weakness with divine power. It often appears in themes of 'Taslim' (submission to fate). Children are taught to use this with elders to show respect and readiness to serve.
The 'Ta'arof' Shield
Use this phrase when you want to say 'no' politely. It shifts the blame from your will to your 'hand' (capability).
Subject-Verb Agreement
Remember: the TASK is the subject. If the tasks are plural, the verb must be plural: 'این کارها از دستم برمیآیند'.

The Power of 'Kāri'
Adding 'Kāri' (a task/something) makes the offer sound less intrusive and more helpful.
