مَا عَلَيْنا ضَوْءٌ وَقَد أَبْطَأ الشَّمْ

عُ فَقَوِّضْ بِنَا خِيامَ الدَّيَاجي

We need no light, the sun's delayed its time

So pitch with us night's tents of obscurity

وَتَدارَكْ مِنَّا عَلَيْهِ ظَلاماً

لَمْ يَكَدْ يَنْجلِي بِنُورِ السِّراجِ

And make up for its loss by shedding night

That hardly can be pierced by lamp's clarity
