“I would not say (or relish) that my husband escaped from the battlefield. But I would readily believe and appreciate the news that he died while fighting. It would befit me to foment and dress up his wounds received on his face. But I would surely die with shame if he has received the injuries on his back (while escaping from the battlefield).”
O you who believe! when you are engaged in a face to face fight with the infidels, do not turn your back on them (and escape). (15, Anfal)

"I will believe my husband field, he must have been killed,
I will hold my head high if he wounds on his face,
If he wounds on his back, I will die of shame".

"Ran away" I won't say, "killed" I would believe,
I will be proud to foment wounds on my husband's face,
I will die of shame if the wounds are on his back.
