شَغَلَoccupied in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَقَدْ شَغَلَكَ نَيْلٌ لِذَاتِكَ عَنْ ذِكْرِ خَرَابِ ذَاتِكَ

  And indeed, the attainment of your pleasures has occupied you from the remembrance of the ruin of your self.

  شَغَلَكِ — has occupied you. A past-tense verb carrying the object suffix -ki ('you', female) on its end, so it reads 'has occupied you'. Its subject, what does the occupying, follows it as a separate noun, since Arabic often puts the verb first and the doer after. The attached 'you' is the person distracted.
