1. A sister of Sakhra came and told me
That the Indians had called up their army and brought glad tidings,

2. If you are proud of Hamza when he retreated,
To join the martyrs, seeking martyrdom,

3. Then we, on the day of Badr, had killed
Abu Jahl, Utbah and al-Walid,

4. And we killed the best knights of mankind,
And seized their women and slaves,

5. And we killed Shaybah on that day of yours,
Hanging from his clothes, slain,

6. So he was destined for the worst abode in Hell,
In it he found no refuge,

7. It is not equal, one who is in Hellfire,
Drinking there boiling water,

8. And one who is in Paradise, living there happily,
With sustenance pouring upon him, pleased and praiseworthy.
