إِلَى أَنْ تَحَامَتْنِي الْعَشِيرَةُ كُلُّهَا
وَأُفْرِدْتُ إِفْرَادَ الْبَعِيرِ الْمُعَبَّدِ
Meaning: Eventually my entire clan avoided me, and I was singled out like a camel smeared with tar and kept apart from the others.
Taḥāmatnī conveys avoidance or keeping a distance. Al-ʿashīratu kulluhā emphasizes the breadth of rejection. Al-baʿīr al-muʿabbad depicts a camel marked with tar and separated from other animals. The simile makes social exclusion and loneliness palpable through a familiar desert practice.
