إِنّما الأُخرى كَشَرقٍ

إِنّما الأُخرى كَشَرقٍ

والدُّنى تُشبِهُ غَربا

والدُّنى تُشبِهُ غَربا

The hereafter is but like the east,

The other life is like the east

And this world resembles the west.

And this world resembles the west

مَن يَكُنْ مِن ذي بَعيداً

مَن يَكُنْ مِن ذي بَعيداً

نالَ من هاتيكَ قُربا

نالَ من هاتيكَ قُربا

Whoever is far from this one

Whoever is far from the one

Gains nearness to that one.

Will be brought near to this other
