Indeed, the companions are now in earnest about departing.
The mixed-breed endured his transferal
And so their camels were haltered early in the morning.
Thus were his camels tied up at dawn

تَهدي صَعابُ مَطِيِّهِم ذُلُلُه
I last saw them in the mountain pass, already ascending,
My pact with them at the rear they upheld
The tame ones among their riding camels leading the unruly ones.
The rough terrain smoothed by their striding sprawl
