Example sentences

ثُمَّ الْعِشْقُ وَآخَرُهَا التَّتِيمُ
Then comes ardent love, and its final stage is utter enthrallment.
الْعِشْقُ — the ardent love. The al- on the front makes this a specific, named stage of love rather than love in general, and it stands as the subject the sentence is defining. Arabic does not need a separate verb 'is' here; the bare definite noun simply takes its place as the topic, with the predicate supplied later in the line.
