Arabic vocabulary

How to say “they return” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
Example sentences
يُنِيبُونَ إِلَى ذِكْرِي كَمَا تُنِيبُ النُّسُورُ إِلَى وَكُورِهَا،
They return to My remembrance as the eagles return to their nests.
تُنِيبُ — they return. This present-tense verb mirrors the earlier 'return', now applied to the eagles, and it sits before its subject in the verb-first order Arabic prefers. The verb here stays singular in form even ahead of a plural subject, which is the normal Arabic pattern when the verb leads. Its job is to complete the simile.
