وَلَو أَنّا إِذا مُتنا تُرِكنا

لَكانَ المَوتُ راحَةَ كُلِّ حَيِّ

And if when we died we were left alone

If, when we died, we were left alone,

Death would be rest for every living being

Death would be a rest for every living thing.

وَلَكِنّا إِذا مُتنا بُعثِنا

وَنُسأَلُ بَعدَ ذا عَن كُلِ شَيءِّ

But when we die, we will be resurrected

But when we die, we are resurrected,

And questioned after that about everything

And questioned thereafter about everything.
