الموتُ معلومٌ وامَّا نوعُهُ

الموتُ معلومٌ وامَّا نوعُهُ

وزَمانُهُ فكِلاهما مجهولُ

وزَمانُهُ فكِلاهما مجهولُ

Death is certain; but as for its manner

Death is certain, but its type unknown

And its time, both are unknown.

And its time, both remain obscure

فارقم على صَفَحات قلبك ذِكرَهُ

فارقم على صَفَحات قلبك ذِكرَهُ

واعلَم بانك لا مَحالَ تَزُولُ

واعلَم بانك لا مَحالَ تَزُولُ

So inscribe its remembrance on the pages of your heart,

So etch remembrance on your heart's pages

And know that you will inevitably pass away.

Know you shall pass away for sure
