تَقُولُ وَقَدْ مَالَ الْغَبِيطُ بِنَا مَعًا

She said, while the camel litter had tilted beneath the two of us: “You have all but ruined my camel, O Imruʾ al-Qays; get down!”
Al-ghabīṭ is a camel-borne litter or howdah associated with women’s travel. Māla describes its tilt, and binā maʿan emphasizes that both are aboard. Her complaint is therefore prompted not merely by his presence but by the resulting burden on the animal.
ʿAqarta baʿīrī should not be interpreted here as the literal slaughter expressed earlier in ʿaqartu maṭiyyatī. Here the wording is a forceful complaint about overburdening or impairing the camel.
