You two, visit Ḥars, with its crops, and offer greetings,
When by the guards of the cultivated field do pass, give thou salutation;
Even if it lies off the riding camels’ intended course.
And if from seeking his steed's wonted range he swerve,
فَإنَّfor indeed بِحَرسٍin Ḥars ذِىpossessing الزُّرُوعِthe crops لِنِسوَةًindeed women
فَإنَّ بِحَرسٍ ذِى الزُّرُوعِ لِنِسوَةً

فُؤَدُكَ فى تَكليمِهنَّ يُحُورُ
For in Ḥars, with its crops, there are indeed women;
Yet there are, by the guards of the cultivated field, fair women,
Your heart returns as you speak to them.
And in converse with them thy spirit revives.
