1. Did you not see how God afflicted His messenger
With the trial of a mighty, powerful, eminent one

2. By what He cast down the disbelievers to a house of disgrace -
So they tasted humiliation, from captivity and from killing

3. While the victory of God's messenger was made supreme,
And God's messenger was sent with justice,

4. So he came with a revelation from God, sent down,
Its verses clear for people of intellect.

5. So a people believed in that and became certain,
And they spent the night praising God, united.

6. While a people denied, so their hearts deviated,
So the Lord of the Throne increased them in further deviation.

7. And He enabled His messenger on the day of Badr
And a resolute people whose deed was most excellent.

8. With white, sharp, polished swords in their hands
Which they had burnished with clearing and polishing.

9. So how many spirited youths still growing
Did they leave slain, and how many aged among them did they fell

10. The eyes of wailing women weep over them
Profusely shedding copious, abundant tears

11. Wailings mourning Utbah the lost and his son,
And Shaybah they mourn, and they mourn Abu Jahl,

12. And Dhul Tha`labiyya they mourn, and Ibn Jad`an among them
Stripped, intensely wretched, clearly anguished

13. A party of them lies in the well of Badr -
Men of prowess in wars and on the battlefield.

14. Those among them who called on al-Ghayy He answered,
And for al-Ghayy there are causes with severed ties.

15. So they came to reside at the house of Hellfire
Busy from transgression and aggression in most pressing business
