أَي يَومَيَّ مِنَ المَوتَ أَفِر

يَومَ لا يَقدِرُ أَو يَومَ قَدِر

Which of my two appointed days shall I flee from death,

From which of my two days should I flee death?

The day that is foreordained or the day of fate?

The day it is not decreed, or the day it is decreed?

يَومَ ما قُدِّرَ لا أَرهَبُهُ

وَإِذا قَدِّرَ لا يُنجي الحَذَر

The day that is predestined I do not fear,

The day it is not decreed, I do not fear it,

And if it is destined, caution will not deliver me.

And when it is decreed, caution cannot save.
