يَأْنِ be time

A present-shaped verb meaning 'to be time/due', here read as a negated past because of the 'lam' before it and clipped into its special ending. The whole thing asks whether the time for departure has not yet come. The clipped ending is the verb's response to the negator, not a separate tense.
