     وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْحَيَوَانِ صُلْبًا يَرْعَى‭‬ فِي ٱلْمَرَاعِي ٱلْيَابِسَةِ ٱلصُّلْبَةِ وَيَكُدُّ‬ فِي ٱلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلصَّعْبَةِ‭‬ فَإِنَّهَا أَصْلَبُ وَأَبْطَأُ ٱسْتِمْرَاءً

     wamā kāna mina l-ḥayawāni ṣulban yarʕā‭‬ fī l-marāʕī l-yābisati ṣ-ṣulbati wayakuddu‬ fī l-ʔaʕmāli ṣ-ṣaʕbati‭‬ faʔinnahā ʔaṣlabu waʔabṭaʔu stimrāʔan

   • 1962, Ghassan Kanafani, رجال في الشمس [Men in the Sun]:

     لَا بُدَّ أَنَّهُ شَيْءٌ مَوْجُودٌ، مِنْ حَجَرٍ وَتُرَابٍ وَمَاءٍ وَسَمَاءٍ، وَلَيْسَتْ مِثْلَمَا تَهُومُ فِي رَأْسِهِ ٱلْمَكْدُودِ

     lā budda ʔannahu šayʔun mawjūdun, min ḥajarin waturābin wamāʔin wasamāʔin, walaysat miṯlamā tahūmu fī raʔsihi l-makdūdi

     It was certainly something real, of stones, earth, water, and sky, not as it slumbered in his troubled mind.
