[Receive thou fecundation, O best of young palmtrees: receive thou fecundation from Hanadh, and show that thou hast received it: (فَشُولِى being from شَالَتْ بِذَنَبِهَا said of a she-camel, meaning “ she raised her tail, showing thereby that she was pregnant: ”) since the palm-owners have been niggardly of the spadixes of the male palm-trees]: the meaning is, that the people of Hanadh were niggardly of the spadixes of their [male] palm-trees, and the east wind blew at the time of the fecundation upon the male trees, bearing off [the pollen of] their spadixes and casting it upon the female trees, so that it served for fecundation: Hanadh is a place about four miles from El-Medeeneh: and it is said to be the town of Oheihah: or to be a water belonging to Suleym and Muzeyneh.تَأَبَّرِى يَا خَيْرَةَ الفَسِيلِ تَأَبَّرِى مِنْ حَنَذٍ فَشُولِى إِذْ ضَنَّ أَهْلُ النَّخْلِ بِالفُحُولِ
