وَرَدْنَ دَوَارِعًا وَخَرَجْنَ شُعْثًا كَأَمْثَالِ الرَّصَائِعِ قَدْ بَلِينَا
They entered carrying armoured riders and returned dishevelled and dust-streaked, like worn pieces of ornament.
Dawāriʿan indicates armoured riders, whereas shuʿthan suggests disordered hair and the wear of battle. Entering and leaving form two contrasting visual moments.
The comparison with worn ornaments emphasizes the change wrought by exertion. It is not a festive ornament scene; the simile makes the aftermath of hardship visible.
