دَعني أُفرق ما عِندي وَأَجمَع ما

دَعني أُفرق ما عِندي وَأَجمَع ما

يَجدى وَأَقضي مِن الأَفعال ما وَجبا

يَجدى وَأَقضي مِن الأَفعال ما وَجبا

Let me distribute what I have and gather what

Let me sort what is with me, and gather what avails,

is of use, and carry out the deeds that are required.

And accomplish of deeds what duty entails.

نَفسي الَّتي تَملك الأَشياء ذاهية

نَفسي الَّتي تَملك الأَشياء ذاهية

فَما أُبالي عَلى شَيء إِذا ذَهَبا

فَما أُبالي عَلى شَيء إِذا ذَهَبا

My soul, which possesses things, is departing,

My soul that owns all things and passes away -

so I do not care about a thing when it is gone.

So what care I for aught when it fades and decays?
