    it is the strike of raza's spear
    cleaving the enemy's chest clear
    what blow of remedy, does it bear?
    a hit that kills, no mercy spare.

    Raza's Spear
    Enemies Fear

    Caves & Splits
    Right through Ribs

    Who will plead?
    In Remedy's Need?

    For when Struck,
    None Can Obstruct

    tis the strike of raza's spear
    that cleaves the bosom of foe
    who can bear, its thrust sheer
    which drives to death its blow

    if brothers don't mind, suggesting a few tweaks:

    Raza’s Spear,
    Enemies Fear,
    Cleaves and Caves,
    The Foe's Torsos,

    Wounds that Heal?
    Blows to Reel
    To Rend, to Rive
    And Never Revive

    the blow of the spear that raza wields
    in the enemy's chest, a hollow yields
    who strikes to wound, that might yet mend?
    a deathblow dealt, no shield can fend.

    It is the strike of Raza’s spear,
    That makes the enemy’s chest its lair.
    What blow of remedy can dare,
    When this one pierces every layer.

    Same Couplet in a (mostly) Trochaic metre to create a Tight, Sharp, Raw & Commanding effect

    Raza’s sPear,
    Pierces Foes,
    Carves a Cave,
    Through torSos,

    Will they Cry?
    Will they Plead?
    Nothing Counts
    Facts are Cold ;

    None can Block,
    None can Balk —
    Such a Blow,
    Raza Throws

    Such a Stryke,
    Doth Raza's Spear Stryke,

    That a Cave is Cleft,
    In His Enemy's Chest

    So Who can dare,
    Beseeching care,

    When no attack,
    can counterattack,
    Such Vicious Attack

    Why the word doth instead of does?

    If old English is intended then it should be consistent. Strike then should be spelt stryke.

    وہ رضاؔ کے نیزہ کی مار ہے کہ عَدُوّ کے سینہ میں غار ہے
    کسے چارہ جوئی کا وار ہے کہ یہ وار وار سے پار ہے

    Such a Stryke,
    Doth Raza's
    Spear Stryke..,

    That a Cavern is cleft,
    In the Foeman's Chest

    Who hath breath..
    to seek for help,

    When No Attack,
    can counterattack,
    Such Vicious Attack
