Three days for people of discord
Yet the Muslims' view is the sound one.
Yet the word of Muslims is the definitive one

Just as crops grow to replace crops

News appears, folding reason, humbling it

Is there, then, any news of souls whose delegation has departed
Is there any report on souls whose delegation
to God, while the lowland is inhabited by their bodies?
To God has arrived, their decayed bodies left behind?
