1. Uyainah, what are you doing, alas!
What is this army you are amassing?

2. Restrain yourself! Does an enraged one invade the city
And in it, O Uyainah, have ambition?

3. It is the mighty rock; so neither is harm useful
If you come seeking it, nor is the sword cutting.

4. It has, by God's majesty, an impregnable fortress
Which deflects harm from it and an army defending.

5. In it is Allah's Messenger and the foremost vanguard
To whom terrors are trivial if events turn fearsome.

6. When they encounter the melee, the striking is conclusive,
And if they advance on horseback, the victory gleams.

7. Bashir ibn Sa’d, O Uyainah, is arriving,
So are you retreating with your misguided army?

8. News of him reached you from afar,
And every heart quaked hearing of him.

9. You fled, seeking deliverance, and it became
Clear to you from him a tremendously fierce day.

10. You abandoned the cattle, their herders wailing
And their vestiges mourning them on the meadows.

11. What plunder turned away its protectors
And was driven off, its flock in succession!

12. And the two captives who were dissuaded
From polytheism by a deterrent from Allah's guidance.

13. They submitted when the truth became manifest,
And for the truth there is a light penetrating the blindness.

14. They obeyed Allah's Messenger, so were guided by him,
And the disobedient and obedient are not equal among people.

15. Uyainah, one who inclines toward righteousness continues
Upon insight from it. So are you one who withdraws?
