1. The flags of victory fluttered in the throat,
And the defeat of evil was in that throat,

2. And a great conquest that God knows
That the hazards of fate's times do not diminish

3. The words of God ascended, and they are supreme,
With the height of glories and the drawn sword.

4. God's religion shone after gloom,
And the lanterns of providence and good tidings appeared.

5. It erased the injustice of the minister as it erased
The darkness of night in the dawn lights.

6. And misfortune turned in Karbala`, so it became
Stands for afflictions and a stand for harm.

7. The morning after the corrupters of Karbala’s people perished
And its meadows were filled with them, what a perishment.

8. So it bowed, and it did not bow to anyone before him
Of the ministers preceding to pride.

9. And they did not achieve any purpose or destination from it
Nor did they gain from it any kernel or peel.

10. And he warned them before that of his tyranny
And gave them a month and more than a month.

11. And this minister treated them with his justice
And far be it from injustice and far be it from tyranny.

12. And he warned them of severe torture and dominance
And was thorough with the honorable messengers and warnings.

13. And if the brave minister had patience with them
It would be said he was helpless, and nothing was said about patience

14. And he attacked them at that time with an assault
Not even the assault of warriors with the white and the brown.

15. And he marched with an army on Thursday raging
As the night travels and as the floods flow

16. They had corrupted the land with the worst corruption
Until he came to them with the first massacre

17. Cannons threw them the darts of death from him
With sparks in the dark night like a palace

18. They saw the horror of the Day of Resurrection in the position of perdition
And does one deny horrors in the position of Resurrection?

19. So he destroyed them, the destruction of Aad, for their transgression
With a thunderbolt that left no mention of the people

20. Did you not see them fallen as if their blood
Flowed as the drunkard’s wine flows?

21. And how many a group that transgression dwelt in their hearts
Thinking they are with impregnability

22. So the bodies went away and they were lying down
Stepped upon for a sin they committed at the minister

23. For the purpose of an aggressor in the world
Must take place and must occur

24. Deaths roamed among them with their armies
Where the space of war is narrower than a span

25. The wave and the wave from blood surged in it
Like the surging of the sea wave in the sea abyss

26. So they sought refuge in the grave of the son of the Prophet Muhammad
Did the owner of the grave rejoice in their destruction?

27. For if they were left, the sword would not stop killing them
And if they appeared, they would come with a back-breaking one

28. And its days continued brightly glowing
Lighting the light of the sun at zenith

29. And it remained in a new holiday chronicled
For the day of Eid came with victory and triumph
