1. My two dear friends, visit before the bending of the branches
And do not feel safe in the abode of the gentle one, out of reach

2. Do not be hasty, for one with a need does not know
Whether in haste he will find guidance or straying

3. And pass by her, may God bless you
Though Hind was not your destination or intent

4. And tell her, "It was not losing our way that took us past,
But we went out of our way to meet with you on purpose."

5. Tomorrow there will be many weeping amongst us and you
And the distance between my abode and yours will grow
