Full Definition
[She has bounds like the bounding of gazelles; and a valley is stepped over by her with leisurely steps, and a valley is trampled over by her rapidly as though it were rained upon]: i. e., one time she steps, and refrains from running; and one time she runs with a running resembling rain: but AO relates it otherwise, saying, فَوَادٍ خَطِيطٌ [lit. and a valley is not rained upon]: and some substitute كَصَوْبِ الخَرِيفِ [like the pouring rain of the autumn]. [See also what next follows.]لَهَا وَثَبَاتٌ كَوَثْبِ الشِّبَآءِ فَوَادٍ خِطَآءٌ وَوَادٍ مَطِرْ
