جَنبي تَجافى عَنِ الوِسادِ

جَنبي تَجافى عَنِ الوِسادِ

خَوفاً مِنَ المَوتِ وَالمَعادِ

خَوفاً مِنَ المَوتِ وَالمَعادِ

My side has drawn away from the pillow,

My side shunned the pillow

My side has shunned the pillow,

For fear of death and resurrection.

Fearing death and the return

In fear of death and the Return.

مَن خافَ مِن سَكرَةِ المَنايا

مَن خافَ مِن سَكرَةِ المَنايا

لَم يَدرِ ما لَذَّةُ الرُقادِ

لَم يَدرِ ما لَذَّةُ الرُقادِ

Whoever fears the stupor of death

He who fears the intoxication of demise

He who dreads the stupor of death

Does not know what the pleasure of sleep is.

Knows not the delight of slumber

Knows not the pleasure of slumber.

قَد بَلَغَ الزَرعُ مُنتَهاهُ

قَد بَلَغَ الزَرعُ مُنتَهاهُ

لا بُدَّ لِلزَّرعِ مِن حَصادِ

لا بُدَّ لِلزَّرعِ مِن حَصادِ

The crop has reached its full growth;

The crops have reached their end

The crop has reached its full maturity,

The crop must be harvested.

The crops must be harvested

And the crop must inevitably be harvested.
