May God sow discord among the enemies,
May God cast enmity among the foes
So it distracts them from us, or its blaze flares up.
To distract them from us, or make their onslaught wane.

Otherwise, we shall inevitably perish—
Else we will surely perish, without recourse—
How can our strength compare with their immense might?
What are our powers next to their might’s domain?
