يَفُوْتُescape

Example sentences

• لَعُمْرُكَ مَا شَيْءٌ يَفُوْتُكَ نَيْلُهُ بِغَبْنٍ وَلَكِنَّ فِي الْعُقُولِ التَّغَابُنُ

  By your life, nothing you fail to obtain is lost through injustice; rather, minds are mutually deluded.

  يَفُوْتُكَ — escapes you. This is a present-tense verb with an attached object '-you' at its end, so one word holds both 'escapes' and its object. It opens the clause describing the 'thing': the thing whose attainment escapes you. The '-you' addresses the listener as the one it slips past.
