The ascetics girded their loin cloth very early in the morning and left on their expedition. They had reduced themselves to mere dust while exploring the mountains. After subjecting themselves to severe strains they ultimately reached the other end of the mountains - their goal.
We shall certainly give to the steadfast their reward according to the best of their deeds . (96, Al-NehI).

Khhahoris prepared early to depart,
Searching in the rocks, reduced to bones the are,
Giving much trouble to their bodies, they sough their goal.

Khhahoris girded up their lion-cloths early in the morning,
Exploring mountains they turned themselves into dust,
Letting their bodies suffer they eventually found the extremity
of the mountain.
