وَمالَكَ وَالإتعابَ نَفساً شَريفَةً

وَمالَكَ وَالإتعابَ نَفساً شَريفَةً

وَتَكليفَها في الدَهر ما لَيسَ يَعذُبُ

وَتَكليفَها في الدَهر ما لَيسَ يَعذُبُ

And why weary a noble soul

Why do you weary a noble soul,

And burden it in this life with what is not pleasant?

And task it through life with trials untrue?

أَرِحها فَعن قُرب تلاقي حِمامَها

أَرِحها فَعن قُرب تلاقي حِمامَها

فَتَنعمُ في دارِ البَقا أَو تُعذَّبُ

فَتَنعمُ في دارِ البَقا أَو تُعذَّبُ

Give it rest, for soon it will meet its death,

Give it repose, let its own dove draw near,

Then it will enjoy bliss in the abode of eternity, or be tormented.

To bask in the home it has won or to rue.
