اَلذُّنُوبَthe sins

Example sentences

• هَيْهَاتَ، رَحَلَ كُلٌّ بِمَا فِيهِ، فَلَيْتَ اَلذُّنُوبَ إِذَا تَخَلَّتْ خَلَتْ

  Alas! Everything has departed with what is in it; I wish that the sins, when they depart, would vanish.

  اَلذُّنُوبَ — the sins. A definite plural ('the sins') made definite by al-, standing as the subject of the wish-particle, which is why it carries the accusative ending demanded by that particle. It is the thing the speaker wishes about: that they vanish.
