My two friends from ʿAwf, may God pardon you both;
My friend from kindness, may God forgive you both
Call on her, if there is hope that she will speak.
Do visit her, if her speech can be hoped for

Indeed, an hour’s midday rest beside Ẓamyāʾ
And if a visitor stays with a tender one for an hour
Is recompense for us for the reproach we shall incur.
We will have immunity from blame, we will blame it
