And through you were freed the captives for whom were built
The shackles were broken by you, those that were built for them
Prisons where no dear friend came to visit them,
Prisons in which no intimate visits them

At a time when their release had proved beyond the Muslims,
While the Muslims despaired of ransoming them
And they said, “The polytheists’ prisons are their graves.”
And said the polytheists' prisons are their graves
