ويَومٍ جَلا عنّا ظَلامَ هُمومِنا

وضمّ لَنا من أُنْسِنا ما تَزَيَّلا

A day dispelled from us the darkness of our sorrows,

And gathered for us of our companions what had scattered away.

وما غضَّ من إسعافِنا بجميعِ

أرَدْناهُ إلاّ أّنَّهُ إذ حَلا خَلا

Whatever we wished for of aid was not withheld,

Except that when it arrived, it departed.
