ان مت فاجعل كفني طيباً

ان مت فاجعل كفني طيباً

تفوح من اردانه الريا

تفوح من اردانه الريا

If I die, make my shroud fragrant,

If I die, make my shroud fragrant

With sweet fragrance wafting from its sleeves,

With the scent of musk spreading from its folds,

ليعلم الموتى باني امرؤ

ليعلم الموتى باني امرؤ

قد جئتهم تواً من الدنيا

قد جئتهم تواً من الدنيا

So the dead may know that I am a man

So the dead may know that I, a man,

Who has just come to them from this world.

Have come to them untired from the world.
