1. Your lowest enemy's limit is that he lives while your cheek is the most humiliated.
Yet glory comes to you highly

2. In humility and in a life that does not pall.
O God's proof that for her opponent the most erring endeavor!

3. I still know that, in it, you do not decline to be a army.
Whence can a boulder,

4. By which the greatest king is warded off, be warded off?!
My soul is your redemption the day

5. The eminent tribe was in the prime of youth.
When every opinion is fruitless and the crescent of your opinion waxes.

6. You are the one who has borne the partisans’ opinion until they became independent,
After abasement had subjugated them, so they were relieved or went astray.

7. Were you not the healer for them, there they would not have
Fared well. You girded up toward their enemy, and you are like hearing from eternity!

8. And they followed you in the ways of integrity, then they girded up, and then ignited.
And many a girded one is dragged by his train that flaps!

9. So they bent their structures with inaccessible high spirit that does not accept humiliation.
With you the sharp sword succeeded, and the balanced spear succeeded.

10. Were it not for you, they would have deviated from the positions of a group who have deviated and gone astray.
But you showed them the guidance with your signs that do not lead astray

11. And you tied against the enemies knots that cannot be undone.
Those by which, when she disputed, thrones of his state shook!

12. The hand of the whistler piped; rather it was paralyzed while it deserved to be paralyzed!
You threw blackness—therein you have come to a grave matter—

13. When only the time for it to be bound had come!
You filled those who longed for the encounter and did not pall,

14. And consoled them, while from them he had unquenchable anguish in his breast that cannot be endured!
He sees the bare earth while he has no place in which he settles,

15. And he sees the limbs of his body, and its most hidden are exposed to him.
He feels no safety from precautions,

16. Neither in night lodging nor in shaded places.
While he was in an army, like a mountain, intertwined, when it was said, “Leave!”

17. His troops were many, but you wiped them out, so they were few
And you struck them with swords of hands whose sheaths do not slip,

18. Were their lower edges made to quake, swords the color of slate would be seen in them!
Long has the many prevailed over the smaller number with them, the fewest .

19. Were it not for her who proved valiant, the swords of India would not suffice!
She instituted laws for beasts of prey in which there were soft ground and high ground.

20. So the group of rebels conformed as if they were cattle driven along!
They turned away, and the love of piercing them from behind was permitted.

21. While the earth was watered from their bloodshed, so it was saturated or muddied.
In each region among them there was a hero for his tribe who was assaulted.

22. They blamed each other and sang what they had gone astray from.
You still remain a star by which guidance is taken in darkness and inference made.

23. A sold anchorage of resolutions for kings—your resolution being a knot and necklace,
A spring of wisdom from which correctness is drawn and filled up.

24. In the shade of a life in which there remains, of bliss, a shade over it.
Its superfluities add luxury to it, so through it one lives well and takes shade!
