«كَلِفْتُ مُذْ مِيطَتْ عَنِّي التَّمَائِمُ وَنِيطَتْ بِيَ الْعَمَائِمُ»
Ever since the amulets were removed from me and turbans were placed upon me, I developed a passion for learning.
Mīṭat and nīṭat are passive perfect verbs. Their grammatical subjects (nāʾib al-fāʿil) are al-tamāʾim and al-ʿamāʾim. Feminine singular verb forms are normal with these non-human plurals. Mudh marks a point from which the condition has continued.
The agents who removed the amulets and tied the turbans are not specified. The sentence instead highlights a transition to maturity and links that transition with a passion for literature and study.
