التاريخ اليميني 19.31-32

- **Language:** Arabic

### [19.31](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.19.31)

ولما استتب للسلطان ما أراد، وانقاد له ما اقتاد ، ارتاح لغزوة أخرى يطرز بها ديباجة مقامه، ويعلم بجمالها عذبات أعلامه، فمال نحو ويهند ، فضرب عليها بكلكل الاقتدار، حتى افتتحها صغرا، واعتاض منها بعد العسر يسرا.

> When what the Sultan wished had been settled for him, and what he led had submitted to him, he was eager for another raid with which to embroider the brocade of his standing and to adorn the fringes of his banners with its beauty. So he turned toward Wayhind, and bore down upon it with the full weight of his power until he took it in abasement and gained ease from it after hardship.

> When the Sultan had accomplished all his wishes and reduced all his enemies; in his happiness, he resolved on another holy-expedition. He ornamented the entrance to his tent as well as his standards, and marching towards Waihind, he encamped there in state, until he had established himself in that country, and had relieved himself from the toils of the campaign. News reached him of the Hindus taking refuge in the passes of the neighbouring hills, and concealing themselves in the forests and jungles, consulting amongst themselves about the means of attacking the Musulmáns. He therefore despatched an army against them, to conquer their country, and disperse them. The army fell upon them, and committed such slaughter that their swords were covered with blood. Those who escaped death fled away like mountain goats, having seen the swords flashing as bright as stars at noonday, and dealing black and red death around them. Thus did the infidels meet with the punishment and loss due to their deserts. The standards of the Sultan then returned happy and victorious to Ghazni, the face of Islam was made resplendent by his exertions, the teeth of the true faith displayed themselves in their laughter, the breasts of religion expanded, and the back of idolatry was broken.

### [19.32](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.tarikh.yamini.19.32)

وبلغه لياذ طوائف من الهنود بشعاب تلك الأعلام، واستتارهم بخمر الغياض والآجام، متحدثين بالتحزب للفساد، والتألب على العناد، فأغزاهم جيشا يدوخ \[115 ب\] مجالهم، ويفرق قبل الوصول أوصالهم، فولغت فيهم السيوف حتى رويت من رشاش دمائهم، وصدئت من مخالطة أحشائهم وذمائهم . وتهارب من سلم من ظباتها كالأوعال في ريود تلك الجبال، يرون الكواكب ظهرا، والمنايا سودا وحمرا، وذاقوا وبال أمرها، وكانت عاقبة أمرها خسرا، وانقلبت رايات السلطان إلى غزنة خافقة بالنجح الشائع، والفتح الرائع، والحول المتين، والنصر المستبين، وقد أشرق وجه الإسلام، وابتسم ثغر الإيمان، وانشرح صدر الملة، وانقصم ظهر الشرك والبدعة.

> He learned that bands of the Hindus had taken refuge in the ravines of those mountains and were concealing themselves in the cover of thickets and jungles, talking of banding together for mischief and uniting in defiance. So he sent an army against them to subdue their ground and to tear their joints apart before arriving. The swords lapped at them until they were sated with the spray of their blood and rusted from contact with their entrails and last breaths. Those who escaped the sword-edges fled like ibexes onto the ledges of those mountains, seeing the stars at midday and death black and red; they tasted the evil consequence of their conduct, and the outcome of their conduct was loss. The Sultan's banners turned back to Ghazna fluttering with widespread success, splendid conquest, firm strength and manifest victory; the face of Islam shone, the mouth of faith smiled, the breast of the religion was gladdened, and the back of polytheism and heresy was broken.
