Lions of Badr | Hamza & Haydar (Ali) | Epic Chant of Badr War

Описание: The Lions of Badr

This powerful poem is an epic ode to the Battle of Badr, a pivotal and defining moment in early Islamic history. It captures the intense spiritual and martial atmosphere of the first major battle between the Muslims, led by Prophet Muhammad (referred to as Ahmed), and the Quraysh of Mecca.

The poem vividly describes the Muslim army arriving with the overwhelming force of a roaring flood that shakes the mountains. It highlights the fierce heroism of key figures, specifically Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib and Ali ibn Abi Talib (referred to as Haydar), likening their valor in battle to roaring lions striking their prey.

A central theme of the poem is divine intervention; it mentions how the enemy (Quraysh) was struck with terror upon seeing the Archangel Jibril (Gabriel) among the ranks of the believers. The poem concludes with a powerful tribute to the legendary sword of Ali, Zulfiqar, symbolizing it as the ultimate instrument of divine justice that divides darkness with the light of truth. The overall tone is one of triumphant valor, unwavering faith, and divine support.

Original Arabic Poem (النص العربي الأصلي)

هَذِي كَتَائِبُ أَحْمَدَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ
كَالسَّيْلِ يَهْدِرُ وَالْجِبَالُ تَزَلْزَلَتْ

فِي يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ وَالْمَنَايَا شُرَّعُ
وَالْكُفْرُ يَهْوِي وَالرُّؤُوسُ تُقَطَّعُ

صَالَ الْكُمَاةُ حَمْزَةٌ وَحَيْدَرُ
مِثْلَ الْأُسُودِ عَلَى الْفَرَائِسِ تَزْأَرُ

خَافَتْ قُرَيْشُ وَالرُّعْبُ فِي أَوْصَالِهَا
لَمَّا رَأَتْ جِبْرِيلَ بَيْنَ رِجَالِهَا

يَا خَيْلَ رَبِّي ارْكَبِي وَتَحَمْحَمِي
الْيَوْمَ نُسْقِي الْأَرْضَ فَيْضًا مِنْ دَمِ

لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ إِذَا هَوَى
قَسَمَ الظَّلَامَ بِنُورِ حَقٍّ وَاسْتَوَى

English Translation

These are the battalions of Ahmed that have approached,
Like a roaring flood, making the mountains quake.

On the day of Badr, when death’s spears were aimed,
And disbelief tumbles down, and heads are severed.

The brave warriors attacked, Hamza and Haydar (Ali),
Like lions roaring at their prey.

Quraysh feared, terror gripping their very limbs,
When they saw Jibril (Gabriel) among their men.

O horses of my God, run and neigh!
Today we shall water the earth with an overflowing of blood.

There is no sword but Zulfiqar; when it strikes down,
It divides the darkness with the light of truth and prevails.

Türkçe Çevirisi (Turkish Translation)

İşte Ahmed'in (Hz. Muhammed'in) taburları geldi,
Kükreyen bir sel gibi, dağları titretti.

Bedir gününde, ölüm mızrakları doğrulmuşken,
Ve küfür yere devrilir, başlar kesilirken.

Yiğit savaşçılar, Hamza ve Haydar (Ali) saldırdı,
Avlarına kükreyen aslanlar gibi.

Kureyş korktu, korku sardı bedenlerini,
Cebrail'i adamlarının (Müslümanların) arasında gördüklerinde.

Ey Rabbimin atları, koşun ve kişneyin!
Bugün toprağı kan seliyle sulayacağız.

Zülfikar'dan başka kılıç yoktur; aşağı indiğinde,
Karanlığı hak nuruyla böler ve hükmünü verir.
