يا موتُ هأنَذا فَخُذ

يا موتُ هأنَذا فَخُذ

ما أَبقَتِ الأَيّامُ مِنّي

ما أَبقَتِ الأَيّامُ مِنّي

O Death, here I am—take

O Death, here I am—so take

what the days have left of me.

what the days have left of me.

بَيني وَبَينَكَ خطوَةٌ

بَيني وَبَينَكَ خطوَةٌ

إِن تَخطُها فَرَّجتَ عَنّي

إِن تَخطُها فَرَّجتَ عَنّي

Between you and me is but one step;

Between me and you lies a step;

if you take it, you will set me free.

if you take it, you will bring me relief.
