يَقولونَ حِصنٌ ثُمَّ تَأبى نُفوسُهُم
وَكَيفَand how بِحِصنٍwith Ḥiṣn وَالجِبالُwhile the mountains جُموحُunyielding
وَكَيفَ بِحِصنٍ وَالجِبالُ جُموحُ
They say, “Ḥiṣn is dead,” then their souls refuse to believe it.
They say a fortress, yet their souls refuse

نُجومُ السَماءِ وَالأَديمُ صَحيحُ
And the graves have not cast out the dead, nor have
The dead's graves have not spoken, nor have
the stars of heaven shifted, and the earth’s surface is intact.
The stars in the sky or the horizon fallen
