1. Thus the clouds disperse after their darkness,
And the heights of homelands recover from their illness.

2. And the swords of India will be sheathed after their anguish,
Piercing the necks of the evil ones with their blades.

3. And the poison of India will be cured after its corruption,
Stabbing the enemies - a final blow and end.

4. And the gardens of grief will become green meadows,
Watered as they desired from their clouds.

5. And the face of misfortune will smile after its frown,
And the fires of war will die down after their flare.

6. O pillar of God's religion and handhold
We sufficed with God's making against the evil of its breaking.

7. Congratulations on a blessing that hopes missed,
And nothing remains for hopes but its permanence.

8. None guided it after the creation wearied,
But the Lord of creation, holding its reins.

9. It was but your determination to be pious,
That sufficed you against the evil of its intentions.

10. You prayed to One whose prayer is never denied,
So He cared for it from its core to its skin.

11. He was then its guarantor after its rupture,
And the Mender of its cracks into wholeness.

12. I still hope for it and wait,
Like one waiting for the fulfillment of a promise.

13. And my anticipation gives me good tidings of it before its being,
And shows it to me in the darkness of its concealment.

14. For whenever calamities happened,
You saw its splendor through the darkness.

15. So you uncovered it before its rising,
And clarified it before the imminent confusion.

16. If you endured much hardship from it,
The greatest are tried with their bones.

17. If the nights wronged you, they quickly came
To erase it in hastened repentance.

18. Today it bid us farewell, so forgive it what
Passed of its transgression and excess of nakedness.

19. It healed willingly wounds from its hands,
And healed scars from the scars of its pain.

20. You honored it after madness though it faltered,
Stumbling and stumbling - its rein loose.

21. It is not to be blamed for anything,
And time cannot undo its order.

22. A protected sanctuary, shunned by aggressors,
A plan unable to be undone by any hand.

23. O remoteness of its night from its day!
And remoteness of its source from its course!

24. You taught the world's rulers, if they would learn,
To be sincere during adversity.

25. And to gain in the battlefield of honor a rank
Torn by hands in confused trial.

26. It cast you, but when missing became unsettled,
Wounded and defeated by its arrows.

27. When it saw your steadfastness it turned
From biting pain to retreat.

28. You watered the thirsty ground with its blood,
And satisfied the wild beasts with its flesh.

29. It did not stop until you turned the cups
Of its volatility - not cups of wine.

30. When you left the sword among them and its rule,
You made its crying into smiling.

31. A rebellious gang threatened its flesh,
Not knowing in its ignorance the old from the young.

32. It stood at the abode of disloyalty but did not throw,
Only hurling prolonged blame.

33. When it saw you approaching, its understanding was confused
And its spears were hindered by your swords.

34. And false imaginings it was deluded by collapsed,
Becoming like a dream seen in sleep.

35. They provoked it to chaos but gained
Nothing but their loss and its revenge.

36. They denied their efforts so you recognized it,
Though it emerged before the removal of its veil.

37. And they ignited it in ignorance of its consequences,
Only burning with the flames of its fire.

38. They shook it and coveted the pleasure of plunder,
Reaping today none but its protectors.

39. You scattered them, striking and stabbing the wasteland
As if they were in the eye some cattle dung.

40. And when felling them you increased over it
More fallen - counted among the dead.

41. It was but like a glowing coal,
Or a spark that drank not of its source.

42. Its return followed its coming,
And weaning neighbored its suckling.

43. You at its severity like a wolf of fright,
Or a lion's severity roaring.

44. You seem above it, or like a rider
Atop the tallest summit of a mount.

45. Your hands sufficed you in guiding its rein,
Your feet in seizing it like a belt.

46. You tread the slain filling the earth
Without respect or restraint.

47. Take it as your Lord gave you authority,
Loving what you desire in the abode of stay.

48. Renewed, no slippery places for misfortunes,
Nor imamate from any turban.

49. The enemies wanted to take its garment from you,
But destiny prevented their wish.

50. And place you away from its villages, as though
By their deeds they elevated you over its summit.

51. No path to it was trod by misfortunes,
Nor did the hands of havoc tear its wholeness.

52. You remained beloved to it each night,
Greeting its length with well-being.
