قلتُ لهُ لّما قضى نحبَهُ

قلتُ لهُ لّما قضى نحبَهُ

لا ردَّكَ الرَّحمنُ من هالِكِ

لا ردَّكَ الرَّحمنُ من هالِكِ

I said to him when he met his death:

I said to him when he breathed his last:

May the All-Merciful never bring you back from among the dead.

May the All-Merciful never bring you back from the dead!

أمَا وقَد فارَقْتَنا فانتَقِلْ

أمَا وقَد فارَقْتَنا فانتَقِلْ

من مَلَكِ المَوتِ إلى مالِكِ

من مَلَكِ المَوتِ إلى مالِكِ

Now that you have parted from us, move on—

Now that you have left us, pass on

From the Angel of Death to Mālik.

from the Angel of Death to Malik.
