ولمّا استقلّتْ للرَّواحِ حُمولُهُم

فلم يبقَ إلاّ شامتٌ وغَيورُ

When their weary burdens were lifted

None remained but the envious and spiteful

وقفنا فمِنْ باكٍ يكفكفُ دمعَهُ

وملتزمٍ قلباً يكادُ يَطيرُ

We stood watching as some wept, wiping their tears

While others concealed hearts ready to fly
