تَرَبَّعَتِ الْقُفَّيْنِ فِي الشَّوْلِ تَرْتَعِي
حَدَائِقَ مَوْلَى الْأُسْرَةِ أَغْيَدِ
Meaning: The she-camel spent the spring at al-Quffayn among other she-camels, grazing in flourishing, rain-fed pastures.
Tarabbaʿat relates to staying or grazing during spring; al-shawl denotes she-camels whose milk has diminished; tartaʿī describes grazing. Ḥadāʾiq evokes enclosed or luxuriant green growth.
The verse briefly moves from the race to the she-camel’s seasonal environment. Her vitality appears connected not only with inherited bodily traits but also with pasture, spring, and nourishment.
