خَلَتْvanished

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.

  خَلَتْ — they vanished. A past-tense verb ('vanish'), feminine to agree with 'the sins', serving as the hoped-for result of the wish. It answers the 'when they depart' clause: the speaker wishes that, once gone, they would be truly gone for good.
