- So that each (of them) was gnashing his teeth and chewing his lips in anger against the veracious Prophet; 4475
- تا همی خایید هر یک از غضب ** بر رسول صدق دندانها و لب
- (But) notwithstanding that anger, they dare not utter a word, because they are in the ten-maund chain of violence.
- زهره نه با آن غضب که دم زنند ** زانک در زنجیر قهر دهمنند
- Their custodian is marching them along to the city: he is taking them by force from the land of the infidels.
- میکشاندشان موکل سوی شهر ** میبرد از کافرستانشان به قهر
- (They say to each other), “He (the Prophet) will not accept any ransom or any gold: no intercession is coming from any prince.
- نه فدایی میستاند نه زری ** نه شفاعت میرسد از سروری
- He is called a mercy to the world, and he is cutting the throats and gullets of a (whole) world (of people).”
- رحمت عالم همیگویند و او ** عالمی را میبرد حلق و گلو
- With a thousand (feelings of) disbelief they marched along, railing under their breath at the actions of the (spiritual) king, 4480
- با هزار انکار میرفتند راه ** زیر لب طعنهزنان بر کار شاه
- (Saying), “We remedied (our former troubles), but in this case there is no remedy: truly this man's heart is not inferior (in hardness) to a rock.
- چارهها کردیم و اینجا چاره نیست ** خود دل این مرد کم از خاره نیست
- We, thousands of men brave as lions, (fighting) with two or three feeble and half-dead naked fellows,
- ما هزاران مرد شیر الپ ارسلان ** با دو سه عریان سست نیمجان
- Are left helpless like this: is it on account of (our) wrong-doing or (unlucky) stars, or is it sorcery?
- این چنین درماندهایم از کژرویست ** یا ز اخترهاست یا خود جادویست
- His fortune tore up our fortune; our throne was overturned by his throne.
- بخت ما را بر درید آن بخت او ** تخت ما شد سرنگون از تخت او
