وَاسْتَفْزِزْ
مَنِ
اسْتَطَعْتَ
مِنْهُم
بِصَوْتِكَ
وَأَجْلِبْ
عَلَيْهِم
بِخَيْلِكَ
وَرَجِلِكَ
وَشَارِكْهُمْ
فِي
الْأَمْوَالِ
وَالْأَوْلَادِ
وَعِدْهُمْ
وَمَا
يَعِدُهُمُ
الشَّيْطَانُ
إِلَّا
غُرُورًا

Instigate whomever of them you can with your voice; and rally against them your cavalry and your infantry, and share with them in wealth and children, and make promises to them!’ But Satan promises them nothing but delusion.
— Ali Quli Qarai
"Lead to destruction those whom thou canst among them, with thy (seductive) voice; make assaults on them with thy cavalry and thy infantry; mutually share with them wealth and children; and make promises to them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
