قَد عَذُبَ المَوتُ بِأَفواهِنا

قَد عَذُبَ المَوتُ بِأَفواهِنا

وَالمَوتُ خَيرٌ مِن مَقامِ الذَليلِ

وَالمَوتُ خَيرٌ مِن مَقامِ الذَليلِ

Death has indeed become sweet in our mouths.

Death has been sweet from our mouths

And death is better than living in humiliation.

And death is better than abject humiliation

إِنّا إِلى اللَهِ لِما نابَنا

إِنّا إِلى اللَهِ لِما نابَنا

وَفي سَبيلِ اللَهِ خَيرِ السَبيلِ

وَفي سَبيلِ اللَهِ خَيرِ السَبيلِ

Indeed, to God we turn for what has befallen us.

We are heading towards God as we die

And in God's path, the best of paths.

And in God's cause is the best of all courses
