1. I bid farewell to this fleeting world that is no abode for me
My only rest is in the Eternal Abode

2. The hours refuse but to hasten
The decay of my body night and day

3. Verily this world is all delusion
Like the deceptive shimmer of water in the arid desert

4. O servants of God everything perishes
We are playthings of the overpowering decrees of fate
