Nor like Ḍabbah to cleave pottery any uncle,

2. Two mountains they whose neighborhood is inaccessible
If they take anyone under their protection.
٢. هُما جَبَلانِ جارُهُما مَنيعٌ

3. In them is reared the nobility of lofty deeds,
Tusks of charging roaring camels.
٣. تَبَنّى فيهِما شَرَفُ المَعالي
خَراطيمَ الجَحاجِحَةِ الكِبارِ
