1. Without hardship you opened God's lands
And their people knew of no strange events

2. The rest must be opened soon
And their Creator hastens their fate

3. How many buds you opened while still hidden
Bearing naught but white from their bloom

4. Like Solomon's son seizing his inherited realm
He whose reign was stunted leaves the lute's string

5. And if it was seized from him, Muhammad
With his Indian blade took it back by force

6. He called out against a king's retreating rule
Which returned to its former state after some time

7. Joshua returned the sun to its course
Its light undimmed, its time unchanged

8. While many others came with excellence at first
Can the two now be made equal?

9. So Ramadan gained the Night of Power
But only its last ten were confirmed as such
