سَأَصبِرُ لِلحِمامِ وَقَد أَتاني

سَأَصبِرُ لِلحِمامِ وَقَد أَتاني

وَإِلّا فَهُوَ آتٍ بَعدَ حينِ

وَإِلّا فَهُوَ آتٍ بَعدَ حينِ

I shall face death patiently, and it has already come to me.

I will wait for the dove though he is late

And if not, it will come after a while.

Yet he comes in a while, have faith

وَإِن أَسلَم يَمُت قَبلي حَبيبٌ

وَإِن أَسلَم يَمُت قَبلي حَبيبٌ

وَمَوتُ أَحِبَّتي قَبلي يَسوِني

وَمَوتُ أَحِبَّتي قَبلي يَسوِني

And if I survive, a loved one will die before me.

And if a loved one dies before me

And the death of my loved ones before me grieves me.

The death of loved ones before me gives me peace
