1. He whose finger God extends
With good or evil, with which besotted

2. Fills for him sins overflowing
And He destroyed Iram and Tubba

3. And the people of Luqman ibn Ad, humbled
When they battled him, but he refused to be vanquished

4. And the elephant the day of companions confounded
When the non-Arabs against it conspired

5. A caller called his Lord, who heard
So it avoided its lands cautious

6. And the guardsman and the masked confounded
And the army escaped in grievous defeat

7. Their latter ones blood spurting
You made the ignorant victorious

8. Among us so he became glorified, fortified
And the right of whom you raise is to be raised

9. He was an ignorant old man, seasoned
Who knew not shoes when walked barefoot

10. Yet today he attained four prizes
Glory, honor, wealth, and refuge

11. So what you grant is not lost
