FAVOURS OF THE GRACIOUS GOD نِلْنَاثُرَيَّاءَ السَّمَاءِ وَسَمُكَهُ لِنَرُدَّ إِيمَانًا إِلَى الصَّيْدَاءِ We scaled heights to reach the Pleiades in heaven; So that we may bring Faith down to earth. إِنَّا جُعِلْنَا كَالسُّيُوفِ فَنَدْمَعُ رَأْسَ اللَّنَامِ وَ هَامَةَ الْأَعْدَاءِ We have been formed like swords; so we smash, The heads of the mean, and the skulls of the enemies. وَاهَا لا صُحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَجُنْدِهِ حَفَدُوا إِلَيْهِ بِشِدَّةٍ وَرَخَاءِ How marvellous are the Companions and troops of the Holy Prophetsas, Who remained with him in times of hardship and ease. غُمِسُوا بِبَرَكَاتِ النَّبِيِّ وَفَيُضِهِ فِي النُّورِ بَعْدَ تَمَرُّقِ الْأَهْوَاءِ Due to the blessings of the Holy Prophetsas and his munificence; They had their carnal desires smashed into pieces; and then they were submerged into Divine Light. قَامُوا بِأَقْدَامِ الرَّسُولِ بِغَزْوَةِ حَضَرُوا جَنَابَ اِمَامِنَا لِفِدَاءِ They stood by the feet of the Messengersas in battles; They presented themselves before our Imam to be sacrificed. 56
