نه تو لا تلقوا بایدیکم الی ** تهلکه خواندی ز پیغام خدا
Hast not thou read in the Message of God (theQur’án) ‘Do not cast yourselves with your own hands into destruction’?
پس چرا تو خویش را در تهلکه ** می در اندازی چنین در معرکه
Then why art thou casting thyself thus into destruction on the field of battle?
چون جوان بودی و زفت و سختزه ** تو نمیرفتی سوی صف بی زره
When thou wert young and robust and strongly-knit, thou didst not go into the battle-line without a coat of mail.
