1. Abu Sufyan declares Muhammad has perished
And the Shaykh persists, nothing but escalation

2. Yet when the Truth intended, he came questioning
So Al-Farooq revealed to him what was hidden

3. And said, your voice, it does not matter
The one who brought the Guiding Truth can hear it

4. Thus did the people suppose when Mus'ab fell down
They wandered drunk, making many claims

5. And the hearts of the believers cringed, so they shook
Fearing the catastrophes after the Prophet

6. Another group was shaken and turned their backs
Hurriedly dragging their families and belongings

7. Saying this is not what we wanted, and this is our Prophet
Fallen dead, if only he were still remaining

8. They did not advance until Umm Ayman stood up
Anger beyond fury and the highest tension

9. Defending them angrily, stirring up the dust
Rubbing it on their faces and foreheads

10. Saying return, after this no house of Medina
Will bless your presence as a resident

11. Do you, O people, seek an escape from your Lord?
Woe to you as you fear enemies

12. Come aid the upright religion and struggle
A struggle that shows us the bloody end of paganism

13. Whoever fears among you to return to turmoil
Goodness to you if you knew what Ma'tab said

14. You would send flowing tears like a cloud
May Allah reward what you offered, O Umm Ayman

15. Of benevolence, fulfilling the greatest duties
Circling the wounded, consoling the complainers

16. Whose blood pours forth as you give drink to the thirsty
Your faith drove you to diligence for the Truth

17. Surpassing the farthest point when racing
I wonder about those who slander you - what did they see?

18. Did their hands go mad or did they aim for a warrior?
Did they not see Hind that the sword spared her weakness

19. And turned from her, abundant in grace and bounty?
A believer restrained himself though his religion

20. Is not like Hubbab's - he was surely astray
Sa'd requited him for the wrong of an oppressor

21. The Messenger of Allah was most pleased
And when Allah sent down sleep they withheld

22. Their wings - had Allah not willed, they were destroyed
Thus is the faith of souls - when its

23. Foundations are firm, it is heavy, anchored
The youth sleeps though death touches his ribs

24. Withdrawing, weak in conquest and frail
Avoiding him until his appointed day comes

25. The furthest thing from being seen as a survivor
So make your certainty into an impenetrable refuge

26. Certainty alone suffices to protect a man
The slumberers' eyelids collapsed

27. And the reddened eyes of war shone
The prince of valor went forth, defending

28. kindling destruction, lions snarling
Shaking the stalwart foes, advancing

29. Felling them in the fury of battle, bloodied
The concealed wounds followed them, captured them

30. With the prominent mark of poured out blood
Groaning for their rescue but muting their voices

31. To conceal what is secret and remains unseen
Its debris swirls around him

32. With continuous shooting flames encircling
He is the blessed leader - he never entered a whirlpool

33. Until he saw the Truth raised high
Abu Talhah - see how he shoots his neighbor

34. Executing the hostile conspirators
Sa'd - do not go easy with your bow, launch

35. Arrows that receive guidance from Allah's hand
Protect him and strike, O Suhayl, their soft parts

36. And allow me to portray for people those sights
And you, O Qatadah - take 3 refuge

37. in Him besides Whom you have no healer
Oh, if only I had reached Umm 'Ammaarah

38. To kiss the spot where her sandal tread
And witness those around the Prophet in their affliction

39. And recite to her about Allah these rhymes
And make my face a shield for her face

40. If a pagan ever threw at her from the front
Oh if only I had taken her wounds

41. And been her rescuer in dire straits
She overflows with care and extinguishes

42. What even a vicious lion would not
Thus were the Muslims, and such

43. Were the qualities of the women among them
When dark tribulations knitted their clouds

44. They dispelled afflictions or tore apart the glooms
For the wide world's glorious aspects are brief flashes

45. If mentioned, so let one who is bold set forth
Every wondrous meaning has eternal wisdom

46. Would that my people understand the meanings
And alas if their elders did not find

47. A preserver to convey them, not inert to awareness
When you see destruction as the people's constant lot

48. Take pity on them, on whoever was the builder
It has every meaning of eternity, each a marvel
