Malik said:[...]<br> | ||
:'Twas as though between my ribs and bowels | |||
:A burning piercing pain afflicted me, | |||
:Sorrowing for those who one after another | |||
:Were left lying that day in Mu'ta. | |||
:God bless them, the heroes, | |||
:And may plenteous rains refresh their bones! | |||
:They forced themselves for God's sake | |||
:To ignore the fear of death and cowardly failure. | |||
:They went in front of the Muslims | |||
:Like stallion foals, clad in long mail | |||
:When they were led by Ja'far and his flag | |||
:In front of their leader, and what a fine leader. | |||
:Until the ranks were breached and Ja'far | |||
:Where the ranks were trapped lay prostrate. | |||
:The moon lost its radiance at his death, | |||
:The sun eclipsed and wellnigh dark. | |||
:A chief of high lineage from Hashim, | |||
:In lofty eminence and authority immovable, | |||
:A people by whom God protected His servants, | |||
:To them was sent down the revealed book. | |||
:They excelled other tribes in glory and honour | |||
:And their enlightened minds covered up the ignorance of others. | |||
:They would not embark on a vicious enterprise, | |||
:You could see their speaker deciding justly.}} | |||
