34.7

The battle went on as it was until God sent the wind of victory blowing for His champions and turned the wheel of misfortune upon His enemies. The swords of truth seized them, cutting them down at every pass and bend of a valley, every entrance and cave, every trackless stretch and beacon. The elephants they had prepared as protecting fortresses were taken from them and became for them a lasting calamity. [190a] God bestowed upon the Sultan and his men spoils that washed hearts clean of the rust of envy, since all shared in the wealth they sought and were equal in the sufficiency of what was found. God conquered Nārdīn by a conquest with which He embroidered the rites of Islam, for the banner of truth had not reached it from the time of the Prophet, God bless him and grant him peace, until the time of the Sultan Yamīn al-Dawla wa-Amīn al-Milla: a glory God decreed for him by his hand, and a deed for which God granted him success and ease from Himself.
