1. You deserve all praise from mankind, for you are always victorious.
With your might and awe you are forever triumphant.

2. Your army, whose heart you are, never ceases
To defeat enemies, subdue and shatter them.

3. How proud are the kings you have vanquished,
A feat unmatched today or any day.

4. You have reached the height of greatness with determination
To level mountains or rebuild them if you wish.

5. Khosrow's soul breaks remembering you,
While Caesar cannot fathom your grandeur.

6. Who can tell the Emperor that his minister,
His stalwart support, is the victorious one.

7. Through him the land of Zawra is safe
Else it would still be mired in woe.

8. Each minister is lesser in virtues than he
And all nobles seem small before his loftiness.

9. He has praiseworthy traits, as though they are
Stars blossoming in the constellation of virtues.

10. Generous, no avarice dims his humanity,
Nor is rest sought after giving.

11. If he draws sword, Rustum is recalled.
If he attacks, Antara is remembered.

12. You see him composing poetry in peace,
And in war, distributing blows.

13. The Indian turns green next to his white complexion
And his steps make the red blush.

14. He drowns in the dark sea fighting gallantly,
How wondrous that oceans drown in his valor.

15. He finds comfort in peace, a heaven for the despondent,
And in war, a hellfire burning enemies.

16. The people of Māʾ al-Samā defied him
Deeming themselves victorious through deceit.

17. Led by Osman, believing he would undoubtedly win
With his sound strategy, or so he thought.

18. With a massive army that filled the horizon
Immeasurable in numbers, they came on Thursday.

19. Seeking to conquer Dar al-Salam, certain that
They would defeat our minister and overwhelm him.

20. Turning against the Muslim state rebelliously,
Obeying only his desires, prohibiting and commanding.

21. Emboldened by vile riffraff, his troops so weak,
Unaware of his disgrace and defeat.

22. Betraying the trusted minister, denying his rights
Dishonored, though who upholds piety thrives.

23. Splitting his staff when he rebelled, but Selim
With feeble supporters marched against us audaciously.

24. Upon hearing of his betrayal and deceit
The Mughals pounced on him like birds of prey.

25. Rushing from their lair, ferociously roaring,
With their cubs, resolute and formidable.

26. With the flags of victory, optimism leading them
As soldiers lined up with joyful spirits exalting.

27. The lions from their den thrive in battle,
As the elite troops held back timidly.

28. The clash of swords is lively music to them
And the red wine of enemy blood intoxicates in war.

29. Hence you see them revel in the fray
Each puffed up and dignified in the arena.

30. Their sharp intact and broken blades guard
The bodies of their slain enemies.

31. He led them as an army whose length
Swept away the people of Māʾ al-Samā, devastating them.

32. The Kurds fled before their arrival, for who can stand
At the basin of death and prevail?

33. Selim escaped, no fortress could protect him,
Terrified and panicking as he fled.

34. To the barren desert, fearing for his life
Lest a specter shattered his heart.

35. May he perish, the traitor lost in deceit
And be crushed, the schemer wherever he schemes.

36. He could not stay in his own land
So he escaped hurriedly, stumbling as he fled.

37. A patrol caught up with him to inflict punishment
Fearing they would die if they met him, terrified.

38. He battled them fiercely with his supporters
As if fighting for his last breaths before burial.

39. When he saw the fighting only increased their injuries
And his troops had retreated and deserted,

40. He resorted to a siege, relying on his fort,
Thus besieged, he who had intended to besiege.

41. He was captured, swords gleaming above him,
A prisoner as the jaws of death grinned.

42. He met his fate when his head was severed
By a sword that showed him death when unsheathed.

43. Likewise Jawza in Irbil, laying siege
Seeking safety therein, cautious.

44. Trusting his sturdy impenetrable fortress
Would save him from doom and protect his army.

45. But it availed him not, for his sturdy bastion
Stood upon smooth rock, unscalable.

46. Reaching higher than the stars in might and loftiness
Towering over Vega defiantly boasting.

47. They surrounded him as flames engulfed it
Besieging for a time before finally scaling it.

48. The chief of villains was shackled
And made to pay for his sedition and betrayal.

49. The festival of breakthrough dawned, for
The source of strife was sacrificed and slaughtered.

50. Good tidings, for victory has come heralded
By a conquest declaring "God is Greatest!”
