المعنى
To do something because it is absolutely required, not by choice or desire.
خلفية ثقافية
The phrase is deeply tied to 'Ta'arof'. People often use it to apologize for their presence or actions, implying they didn't want to bother anyone but were forced by social norms. In Dari Persian, 'az sar-e majburi' is more common than 'ejbar', but the meaning remains identical. Tajik speakers might use 'majburan' more frequently in speech, but 'az sar-e ejbar' appears in formal literature.
Use it to sound polite
If you can't do something, saying 'I'm doing this other thing az sar-e ejbar' makes people sympathize with you more.
Don't over-use it
If you say everything you do is 'az sar-e ejbar', you will sound like a very unhappy person!
