1. They refused to sit while the army was being sacrificed,
So its launch was nearing,

2. And they had nothing but the Quran being recited.
No horses or camels were being led.

3. So they sought refuge in the Prophet and implored him
To carry them, but he was too troubled and they were restricted.

4. They turned away with tears flowing down their cheeks,
Tears filling their eyes and dripping down.

5. Do they lack the horses during the march
While the caravan precedes them to God?

6. So a group of fighters cast them off,
Shooting them with incessant arrows.

7. And they brought the she-camels, so they got rest
From the depressing worries and regained consciousness.

8. Can one guided by faith and piety
Be like one misled by deceit or hypocrisy?
