دَّهْرُtime

Example sentences

• وَلَمْ تَرَ فِي الْبَاقِينَ مَا يَصْنَعُ الدَّهْرُ

  And you did not see in those who remain what time will do.

  الدهر — the time. A definite noun carrying 'the', naming time-as-fate, the relentless passage of the ages. It is the subject of the verb just before it, the force that acts on people, placed after its verb in the usual verb-first order. So time itself is what does the deed.
