ثُمَّ رُوحا فَهَجِّرا تَهجيرا
O my two friends, make hardship easy.
Oh my beloved, make the difficult easy
Then set out and journey on through the midday heat.
Then go away, estrange estrangement

لَيسَit is not إنif عُجتُمَاyou two turn aside المَطِيَّthe riding camels كَبيراa great matter
لَيسَ إن عُجتُمَا المَطِيَّ كَبيرا
Turn aside with me to Hind’s dwellings;
Take me to the abodes of a beloved in India
It is no great matter if you turn the riding camels aside.
If you both refuse, the mount is not big
