But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;

But nay! I swear by that which you see,

But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able

Nay! I swear by the day of resurrection.

Nay! I swear by the self-accusing soul.

But nay! I swear by the stars,

But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

Nay! I swear by this city.
