"We shall fight as long as we live Till you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet Whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. How many tribes assembled against us Their finest stock and allies! They came at us thinking they had no equal And we cut off their noses and ears With our fine polished Indian swords, Driving them violently before us To the command of God and Islam, Until religion is established, just and straight, and Al-Lat and al-‘Uzza and Wudd are forgotten And we plunder them of their necklaces and earrings. For they had become established and confident, And he who cannot protect himself must suffer disgrace."
