i think that translating the word literally would be just total failure ...so i would say "make your living"......for example during a conversation (in an official way) you can say "how do you make your own living" or in slang american english"what do you do for a living".

The source of living.

Can you put it in an Arabic context, please? I doubt that a single translation of this term would suffice for all contexts.

Google translation is "For a living".
