1. He fulfilled the rights of God against His enemies
Then turned back victorious under his banner

2. A raging sea with destruction in its waves
Dawn shone and truth radiated its lights

3. A pillar he erected by which the All-Powerful established His right
And truth is the pillar of His earth and heavens

4. He unleashed against them the swords' blows as though
His spears had reached them by His decree

5. He stormed them with an army, the earth too narrow for
Its regiments or imagination to count them

6. Like thick clouds filling the sky
But the blood of heroes dyed its currents

7. When he saw the abomination of polytheism persisting
He weakened its forces and relied on his own

8. He inclined toward it with swords and spears
Until nothing remained but their bodies

9. He spared them, though terror was destroying them
As if he were a lion over its torn limbs

10. Uprooting their matter little by little
Time circulates with its mornings and evenings
