لَيْسَ يُنْجِي الَّذِي يُوَائِلُ مِنَّا رَأْسُ طَوْدٍ وَحَرَّةٌ رَجْلَاءُ
Neither mountain summit nor stony land saves someone seeking refuge from us.
Yunjī is the verb, alladhī its object, and yuʾāwilu the relative clause with an implicit subject referring to that object. Raʾsu ṭawdin is the delayed agent of the saving action and ḥarratun is coordinated with it. Foregrounding the fugitive strengthens the image of failed rescue.
