Example sentences

يَنَالُنِي حَرُّهُ وَلَا يُؤْذِينِي دُخَانُهُ،
Its heat reaches me, and its smoke does not harm me.
دُخَانُهُ — its smoke. A noun with -hu ('its') attached, and it is the subject of the negated verb before it, the thing said not to do the harming. Its final -u (before the suffix) is the plain subject ending, marking it as the doer rather than the receiver. The -hu points back to the same fire, so this is 'the fire's smoke'.
