The Arabian poet Ibn Mayyâdâ, in a description of the lightning (Aġânî, II. 120. 9), says 'it lights up the piled-up cloud, which is like a herd of camels, at the head of which those that long for their home cry out with pain: yuḍîʾu ṣabîran min saḥâbin kaʾannahu * hijânun arannat lil-ḥanîni nawâziʿuh.
