بہ مشتاقاں حدیث خواجہ بدر و حنین آورتصرف ہاے پنہانش بچشمم آشکار آمد

English translation

Narrate to Lovers the traditions of Badr and Hunain’s Master;* his hidden meanings clear to my eyes have become!
* Reference to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.): The battles of Badr and Hunain are of critical importance in Islamic history. The former was the first battle between the fledgling Millat of Muslims in Madinah Munawarrah and the pagan Quraish. This battle was critical in that the victory of Muslims brought credibility and political stability to them. The battle of Hunain was fought immediately after the conquest of Makkah Mu‘zzamah. This battle also was decisive in the sense that Muslims were almost defeated on account of their pride and reliance on their numbers, arms and material resources instead of their Faith in the Truth of their mission and the help of God. Ultimately, the Muslims were victorious. This victory completed the sovereignty of the Islamic State of Madinah over the Arabian Peninsula and provided the launching pad for their expansion into the world.)
