1. Seventy times have I seen Allah's messenger
Prepare me at once for serving sacred law;

2. And make me into a sword against each heretic
And their people, men of misguidance by their nature.

3. He commanded me to keep the lawful as a meadow
For his loved ones, the bearers of rule in capacity.

4. And to unsheathe the light of Sacred Law with guidance
Upon its precise text, joined and divided.

5. And not to see severity in religion as a way,
Nor to let loose the reins from deterrence.

6. And to cut off minds from the mire of passion,
And to act with resolve and integrity when commanded.

7. And not to see the breaking of sticks as a means,
But to see the rule of connection to origin through branch.

8. And to perfect transcendence for God sincerely,
Above high and low, smoothed and paired.

9. And to see leaving union and its kind,
And perfecting the rule of text in division and gathering.

10. And to plant the judgment I have taken
In valleys towering with protected sanctity, lacking crops.

11. Thereupon I will have given the Trust to its people,
And acted as I was prepared in serving Sacred Law.
