لَكِنّbut

Example sentences

• وَلَكِن الشَّأْن فِي عمرك وَهُوَ وقتك الَّذِي بَين الْوَقْتَيْنِ

  But the matter is in your life, which is your present time between the two periods.

  وَلَكِنَّ — but indeed. This 'but' is the heavier kind that, like the emphatic 'inna', forces its following subject into the accusative. It pivots the argument: not the past or future, 'but' the present is where the matter lies.
