تَرِيعُ إِلَى صَوْتِ الْمُهِيبِ وَتَتَّقِي
بِذِي خُصَلٍ رَوْعَاتِ أَكْلَفَ مُلْبِدِ
Meaning: The she-camel turns in response to the herder’s call and uses her tufted tail to ward off the alarming advances of a dark, matted male camel.
Tarīʿu denotes turning back or responding; ṣawt al-muhīb is the caller’s or herder’s voice. Tattaqī means protecting oneself or avoiding danger, while bi-dhī khuṣal points to the tufted, hair-bearing tail.
The mount is no mere mechanism. She responds to human signals and reacts defensively to another animal, adding behavioral realism to her earlier physical traits.
