As I recall my father retelling it: RYBS doesn't mention a short
version, but he does limit use of the normal one. He holds that
Shabbos hi miliz'oq is an issur, that ze'aqah and baqashah are
outright prohibited on Shabbos. However, piquach nefesh docheh Shabbos
means that for someone for whom you would light a fire, you could
certainly make a Mi Shebeirakh. We say "Shabbos hi miliz'oq" because
we are acknowledging the possibility that Shabbos was dechuyah, not
hutrah, and thus to give a minor rephrasing: "This should have been a
rest from crying out, but..."
