وإذا    ما   تكدر   الجو   يوماً

وإذا ما تكدر الجو يوماً

قل أصيبت عين الضيا بالعماء

قل أصيبت عين الضيا بالعماء

And if the sky should cloud over one day,

And if the sky is clouded o'er one day,

Say: the eye of radiance has been struck blind.

Say that the bright sun's eye is dimmed with blindness.
