444) The traveller who has a piece of cloth (a scarf) fastened round his neck, futtering briskly because of a strong wind, appears as if he is half flying, being extremely in haste to meet his beloved.
445) In the case of the traveller, extremely eager to meet his beloved, and returning home after a long time, as he approach es the city, misgivings about the safety and well-being of his wise) (begin to oppress him in such a manner that they) are not contained in his heart.
46. The Section on the Blessed (Lucky) Ones
446) Blessed are they, who are (longingly) remembered by (their) young ladies, slow in their movements because of their heavy, round hips, their utterances somewhat choked in their mouths and their lips trembling (with emotion).
447) Lucky are they, who are remembered by (their) young ladies, whose bodies are weighed down (are bending) due to their firm swelling (proturberent) and large (expansive) bosoms and who are full of deep longing because of their genuine affection (for them).
448) (Thrice) blessed are they-our salutation to them they alone live (in this world, in a real sense) by the grace of Cupid, who are (longingly) remembered by (their) young ladies, the knots of whose garments (become loosened and) slip down (due to mounting emotion at the recollection of their beloved consorts).
449) (Thrice) blessed are they, who are (longingly) remembered incessantly by (their) young ladies moving about with a grace similar to that of elephants in rut (i. e. slow in their movements) and having faces lovely like the moon on a full-moon night.
