قَومٌ إِذا قاموا لِتَشييدِ العُلا

جَعَلوا الكَواكِبَ تَحتَها أَركانا

A people, when erecting high glories

Made the stars beneath them pillars.

وَغَنَوا بِما صاغوهُ عَن أَن يَعقِدوا

فَوقَ المَفارِقِ مِنهُمُ تيجانا

And they sang of what they fashioned, disdaining

To weave over the summits crowns.

فَهُمُ الَّذينَ إِذا اِعتَصَمتَ بِحَبلِهِم

أَعطَتكَ مِنها الحادِثاتُ أَمانا

So they are those when you take refuge with their rope

Events therefrom give you safety.
