Translation:
The traveller's wives (wives of the people who have travelled away), with points of their locks held up,
will look at you (who is) mounted in the road of the wind, and derive comfort (thinking that their loved ones
would be on their way back).
Who would neglect a wife distressed by separation when you are near? Perhaps, not even (someone) like me who is in a subservient condition.
