achieve, win
"...achieve, win the greatest of victories..."
I believe it is derived from لاَقَى , "to meet".
definition from Ajeeb:
لاَقَى يُلاَقِي لاَق مُلاَقَاةً ولِقَاء [لقي]: - ـه: قابله وصادفه؛ لاقى صديقه في الطريق.- ـه: وجده؛ لاقى آذاناً صاغيةً/ لاقى صعوبةً في الموضوع/ لاقت البضاعةُ َروَاجاً.- بين اثنَين: وصل بينهما بعد القطيعة؛ لاقى بين الخصمَين وصالحهما/ لاقى بين طرفي القضيب.- الله: تُوُفِّي.

You shall have the greatest victory...

Indeed ملاقون means those who shall meet/encounter/achieve/obtain, etc., however English is not so flowery in its expressions and "have" is suffice to convey the sentiment...at least that's my feeling :-)
Achieve victory sounds okay as well IMO
