[app. meaning † And the sun was shedding its fierce rays and its gossamer when they were going forth from deserts to deserts]: and he said, I think [that the poet means] it was the ظَهِيرَة [or midday of summer when the heat was vehement], when what is called لُعَابُ الشَّمْسِ [and مُخَاطُ الشَّمْسِ, which latter is here the more appropriate term,] was flowing [in the air]: and El-Ghanawee says, when the beasts thirst, their eyes shed tears, and their nostrils flow.
