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!'

  صَاحَ — it said. A past-tense verb placed before its subject 'the desire', the standard verb-first order. It introduces direct speech that follows, and its singular masculine form agrees with that following single subject.
