1. Mahaysa, convey what you have been commanded,
For it is the religion of Muslims or death.

2. Go to Fadak and convey the message of Muhammad,
And warn its people whom ignorance has led astray.

3. They refused to answer the caller of Allah, and sought
The way of ruin, blinded by rancour and hatred.

4. They say the army of Muhammad will not
Achieve victory in Khaybar, it is an unachievable desire.

5. It is defended by the champions of its people,
Men, when they enter the fray, jesting ceases.

6. It has Amir steadfast in trials, and Yasir,
It has Marhab and Al-Harith the brave hero.

7. In it are thousands of archers and warriors,
They are lethal poison for whoever tries them.

8. Yet we do not dislike peace, so wait,
Mahaysa, and be patient, for it is the perfect plan.

9. Thus they spoke, scheming as is their habit,
But what does scheming avail, or trickery benefit?

10. They prolonged the term until they saw the seriousness of his people,
And the seriousness of the Messenger of Allah - which would prevail.

11. When they were driven with truth from the fortress of Na'im,
And were told, "For your people, the ways have narrowed."

12. Their messengers walked to make peace, with hearts before them
That were agitated scrolls and messages.

13. The chief of the people, Nu'n son of Yu'sha remains
Saying, "Come, that is the easy ship."

14. And take refuge in the wings of the Prophet, where they found
A generous one whose forgiveness and grace are hoped for.

15. He made peace permitted for them, and their
Blood and wealth - if he let them be - were permissible.

16. If they were created for villainy, yet he
Is worthy of all magnanimity attributed to the noble.

17. For him is half of those fields, he counts them
For every poor one, whom misery and poverty have bitten.

18. Thus the protector of the people, whose shade they hope for,
For what good is a protector without shade?
