158 HADRAT MIRZA GHULAM AHMAD مَغَانِمُ شَتَّى وَالْمَتَاعُ الْمُوَقَّرُ وَأُحْرِقَ مَالُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَحُصِّلَتْ Consequently, the houses of the disbelievers were also torched, And numerous bounties of war as well as wealth were seized. وَكَانَ الصَّحَابَةُ كَالْأَفَانِيْنِ كُسِّرُوا بِبَدْرٍ وَأُحْدٍ قَامَ نَوْعُ قِيَامَةٍ A doomsday spectacle was witnessed in the battles of Badr and Uhad; The Companions were broken like branches from a tree. تَسَوَّرَ دِعْصَ الرَّمْلِ مَا كَانَ يَقْطُرُ هَمَتْ مِثْلَ جَرْيَانِ الْعُيُونِ دِمَاءُهُمْ Their blood flowed like a spring, And covered the sand dunes. عَلَى رِسْلِهِمْ بَارَوْا عِدَاهُمْ وَجَمَّرُوْا وَكَانَ بِحُرِّ الرَّمْلِ مَوْقِفُهُمْ فَهُمْ In pure sand alone was where they stood; With great resolve and dignity they confronted their enemy and showed steadfastness. عَلَى مَوْطِنٍ فِيْهِ الْمَنِيَّةُ يَزْأَرُ وَقَامُوا لِبَذْلِ نُفُوسِهِمْ مِنْ صِدْقِهِمْ As they were faithful people, to lay down their lives they stood at a place, Where they could see death roaring at them like a lion. وَصُبَّتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ مُصِيبَةٌ وَدَقُوا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّيُوفِ الْمِغْفَرُ On this occasion a calamity befell the Holy Prophet; The enemies struck his iron helmet with their swords causing it to depress his skull.
