فنأى بى طلب الشجر يوماً فلم أرح عليهما حتى ناما فحلبت لهما غبوقهما فوجدتهما نائمين فكرهت أن أوقظهما وأن أغبق قبلهما أهلاً أو مالاً،
One day, I was delayed by seeking wood and did not return to them until they had fallen asleep. I milked their evening drink for them, but I found them asleep and disliked to wake them or to serve my family or wealth before them.
نَائِمَيْنِ asleep
This is a dual participle naming the state the parents were in, asleep, and its dual ending agrees with the dual 'them' just before. It works like a state-describing complement, telling how he found them; the form's 'two-ness' ties it to the pair.
