لَقَدْ
نَصَرَكُمُ
اللَّهُ
فِي
مَوَاطِنَ
كَثِيرَةٍ
وَيَوْمَ
حُنَيْنٍ
إِذْ
أَعْجَبَتْكُمْ
كَثْرَتُكُمْ
فَلَمْ
تُغْنِ
عَنكُمْ
شَيْئًا
وَضَاقَتْ
عَلَيْكُمُ
الْأَرْضُ
بِمَا
رَحُبَتْ
ثُمَّ
وَلَّيْتُم
مُّدْبِرِينَ
la-qad naṣarakumu llāhu fī mawāṭina kathīratin wa-yawma ḥunaynin ʾidh ʾaʿjabatkum kathratukum fa-lam tughni ʿankum shayʾan wa-ḍāqat ʿalaykumu l-ʾarḍu bi-mā raḥubat thumma wallaytum mudbirīna
Allah has certainly helped you in many situations, and on the day of Hunayn, when your great number impressed you, but it did not avail you in any way, and the earth became narrow for you in spite of its expanse, whereupon you turned your backs [to flee].
— Ali Quli Qarai
Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunain: Behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught: the land, for all that it is wide, did constrain you, and ye turned back in retreat.
