Thanks Jonathan
The above declaration worked perfect. I have now hyphenation in the 
correct point.

People sometimes write می‌بینم as می بینم with a real space between
 می ans بینم
which is not correct (maybe because their 
keyboard have no zero-width character or ZWNJ). 
By saying "keep prefixes attached to their root" people mean not to
break as above. But it is not bad to break the line after می.

1- How can I set the \lccode of the ZWNJ appropriately?
