كَمَا تذاد الغريبة من الْإِبِل عَن الْحَوْض
Just as the stray camel is driven away from the water trough.
الغَرِيبَةُ — the stray. This is the subject of the passive verb, the thing being driven away, so it holds the subject form. The 'the' presents it as a defined example, the stray one, and the feminine ending agrees with the camel it describes.
