ساوَرْتُ أسْوَدَ منْ ظَلامِ دُجىً

مَنْ نابَهُ فإلى الهُمومِ دُفِعْ

I rode through the blackness of darkest night

Whose fangs push away all worries and plight

أنا لا أقولُ سَطا الصّباحُ بِه

لَكِنْ طَغى ثُعْبانُهُ فرُفِعْ

I do not say the dawn has arisen with ease

But that its serpent's veil has now been released
