تَبارَكَ رَبٌّ لايَزالُ وَلَم يَزَل

تَبارَكَ رَبٌّ لايَزالُ وَلَم يَزَل

عَظيمَ العَطايا رازِقاً دائِمَ السَيبِ

عَظيمَ العَطايا رازِقاً دائِمَ السَيبِ

Blessed is a Lord who ever is and ever has been,

Blessed is the Lord, eternal, without beginning

lavish in gifts, a provider, unceasing in bounty.

Great in gifts, the ever bountiful provider

لَهِجتُ بِدارِ المَوتِ مُستَحسِناً لَها

لَهِجتُ بِدارِ المَوتِ مُستَحسِناً لَها

وَحَسبي لِدارِ المَوتِ بِالمَوتِ مِن عَيبِ

وَحَسبي لِدارِ المَوتِ بِالمَوتِ مِن عَيبِ

I grew fond of the abode of death, finding it fair,

I have found pleasure in the abode of death

yet death is flaw enough for me in the abode of death.

And death's flaw is enough for me in death's abode

لِيَخلُ امرُؤٌ دونَ الثِقاتِ بِنَفسِهِ

لِيَخلُ امرُؤٌ دونَ الثِقاتِ بِنَفسِهِ

فَما كُلُّ مَوثوقٍ بِهِ ناصِحُ الجَيبِ

فَما كُلُّ مَوثوقٍ بِهِ ناصِحُ الجَيبِ

Let a man be alone with himself, apart from those he trusts;

Let each man beware of trusting in himself

for not everyone trusted is sincere at heart.

For not every trusted friend is true to his word

لَعَمرُكَ ما عَينٌ مِنَ المَوتِ في عَمىً

لَعَمرُكَ ما عَينٌ مِنَ المَوتِ في عَمىً

وَما عَقلُ ذي عَقلٍ مِنَ البَعثِ في رَيبِ

وَما عَقلُ ذي عَقلٍ مِنَ البَعثِ في رَيبِ

By your life, no eye is blind to death,

By your life! The eye is not blind to death in blindness

nor is the mind of one endowed with reason in doubt about resurrection.

Nor is the mind of a rational man doubtful of resurrection

وَما زالَتِ الدُنيا تُري الناسَ ظاهِراً

وَما زالَتِ الدُنيا تُري الناسَ ظاهِراً

لَها شاهِدٌ مِنهُ يَدُلُّ عَلى غَيبِ

لَها شاهِدٌ مِنهُ يَدُلُّ عَلى غَيبِ

And the world has never ceased showing people an outward aspect,

And the world continues to show people openly

in which it has a witness pointing to the unseen.

A witness for it that points to the unseen
