حصن العليّة بفخرك زاد فخر وسما

حتى بروجهُ غدت تحكي بروج السما

The fortress of Aliya grows prouder still with your pride

Until its towers begin to tell of the towers of heaven

حصن جعلتهُ لشدات الدهر معصما

لا زال سوره سوار وأنت له معصما

A fortress you have made as protection from time's calamities

Its walls remain a bracelet, you being its armlet
