Example sentences

• فمن المختارين يوسف النبي صاح الهوى يا زليخا راودي والعبي،

  Among the chosen is the prophet Joseph. Desire called out, 'O Zuleikha, entice and play!'

  رَاوِدِي — entice. This is a command directed at a woman, with the feminine -i ending that marks an order given to a female. Arabic builds commands by stripping the verb to a bare imperative and signals the gender of the one ordered through that ending.
