1. An earthquake shook the foundations of fortresses,
Fearing no archer or hunter.

2. When the citadel knew who cast it,
It fell prostrate at its base in homage.

3. If they flee they shall be caught, if they stand still
They shall fear the loss of the sharp and taut bowstring.

4. For the command belongs to God, Lord of all who strive;
None fails except for he who struggles vainly.
