Sasui passed through the wilderness amidst the mountain passes, all the time meekly calling the Beloved. She enquired about him from all those persons who crossed her on the road, and she followed the footprints of those way-farers who went further in the same direction. (Or) she touched their feet (for their intercession with the Prophet for her). She requested them for some information about the party of her husband's brothers and their camels, deploring her tearful journey through the passes, which was occasioned by her husband's departure.

Note: Two categories of fellow travellers who crossed Sasui are mentioned in this verse, to wit, those who had come from the Beloved's land, and those who were bound for the same destination as Sasui. Since the latter seemed better informed about the route, they journeyed fast. Sasui had, accordingly to follow their prints.
