Along with the two martyrs and the truthful one in Sura,

For them there as reward for their blessed effort,

To Ibn Affan as an unrestricted kingdom,

Who were beloved friends of the Guided One and his appointees,

When they pledged allegiance to him for it, the House, and Mt. Sinai,

6. So will it remain for you, and God has made it firm
Among you until the Trumpet blast of the Merciful,

7. Indeed, I say to my companions and those below them
From the nobility, reverent, dignified,

8. March on and do not worry about fatiguing a mount
To an imam with God's sword, victorious,

To me from you, but I did not come with the caravan,

10. No she-camel carried a man like me when the wind
Wrapped me in the garment,

11. I honored a people, and was true in the midst of those covered
In the blood of the people, confused,

12. Except for Quraysh, for God granted it virtue
Along with prophethood, Islam, and goodness,

13. From the clan of Harb, and their dwellings in the hillforts
They and their inheritance left you a lofty-walled building,

14. Harb and Marwan, your two ancestors, theirs
Were the great assemblies from the hilltops,

15. You see the faces of the Marwanids, deeming them
When encountered, pure gold dinars,

16. Striking for truth when they strike
On the day of meeting, and they are no procrastinators
