Sol 5.6

  1. Muhammad, you have none who shall forsake you;

    for truth is victorious over falsehood.

  2. People are either heedless or beset by doubt

    about you—but your Lord is never heedless.

  3. Justice and reason are passion’s two intimates,

    yet not everyone among humankind is rational.

  4. And if the sword rusts in the hand of the one

    who bears it, the task falls to the polisher.

  5. Thus God’s mercy toward all creation

    is set forth in His decisive Word.

  6. Though truth may yield, nevertheless

    it brings that fierce falsehood to ruin,

  7. like a wave: however it gathers itself to leap,

    you see it dissolve upon the shore.
