يَا طِيْبَ مُبْتَدَاٍ مَّنْهُ وَمُخْتَتَمِ

يَوْمٌ تَفَرَّسَ فِيْهِ الْفُرْسُ اَنَّهُمُ

قَدْ اُنْزِرُوْا بِحُلُوْلِ الْبُىُوْسِ وَالنَقَمِ

وَبَاتَ اَيْوَانُ كِسْرى غَيْرَمُلُتَىِمِ

كَشَمْلِ اَصْحَابِ كِسْرى غَيْرَ مُلُتَئِمِ

وَالنَّارُ خَامِدَةُ الْاَنْفَاسِ مِنْ اَسَفٍ

عَلَيْهِ وَالنَّهْرُ سَاهِي العَيْنِ مِنِ سِدَمِ

 

Commentary...

At the birth of the beloved Prophet [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] every idol fell on its face; and the palaces of Chosroes/Khusrow emperor of Persia, trembled, and fourteen of the towers fell; Lake Sawaah that was worshiped disappeared; The Valley of Samavaah, where for a number of years no water had been seen, now flowed with that element.

 The fire of Fars, which had not been extinguished for a thousand years, was extinguished that night, on which likewise, the wisest of the  clerics dreamed that a number of strong camels led the horses of Arabia across the Tigris into their territory. 

On that night a light appeared in Hijaaz filling the whole world and moving eastward; on the morning following, the thrones of all the kings were found reversed; the skill of the soothsayers [fortune-teller] departed, the magic of the sorcerers ended.
