فَعَلَا فُرُوعُ الْأَيْهُقَانِ وَأَطْفَلَتْ ۞ بِالْجَلْهَتَيْنِ ظِبَاؤُهَا وَنَعَامُهَا
Then the shoots of the wild plant ayhuqān rose high, while does and ostriches in the two sides of the valley had their young.
Ayhuqān names a wild plant and furūʿ its rising shoots. Aṭfalat expresses animals having young. The consequence of rainfall is therefore more than green vegetation: the valley now supports animal life and its offspring.
