سَرى نَعشُهُ مِن بَعدِ ما سارَ غِشُّهُ

سَرى نَعشُهُ مِن بَعدِ ما سارَ غِشُّهُ

فَأَفنى بِهِ الأَحياءَ حالَ بَقائِهِ

فَأَفنى بِهِ الأَحياءَ حالَ بَقائِهِ

His bier traveled by night after his deceit had spread,

His coffin was escorted when his illusion passed away.

with which he destroyed the living while he was alive.

So he destroyed the living in his lifetime.

وَطالَ اِزدِحامُ الناسِ مِن حَولِ نَعشِهِ

وَطالَ اِزدِحامُ الناسِ مِن حَولِ نَعشِهِ

شَماتاً بِهِ لا رَحمَةً لِثَوائِهِ

شَماتاً بِهِ لا رَحمَةً لِثَوائِهِ

And long did people throng around his bier,

And the crowds gathering around his coffin became dense,

gloating over him, not out of pity for his resting there.

Gloating over his death, not merciful towards his remains.

فَلا رَحِمَ الرَحمَنُ مَن فَوقَ تَحتِهِ

فَلا رَحِمَ الرَحمَنُ مَن فَوقَ تَحتِهِ

وَلا مَن غَدا يَسري أَمامَ وَرائِهِ

وَلا مَن غَدا يَسري أَمامَ وَرائِهِ

So may the All-Merciful show no mercy to the one above what lies beneath him,

So the Merciful did not have mercy on those above and below him,

nor to the one who went traveling by night ahead of what lies behind him.

Nor those who tomorrow will walk ahead and behind him.

وَنوَّرَ مِن كِفلٍ مِنَ النارِ قَبرَهُ

وَنوَّرَ مِن كِفلٍ مِنَ النارِ قَبرَهُ

وَآنَسَهُ بِالرُعبِ عِندَ لِقائِهِ

وَآنَسَهُ بِالرُعبِ عِندَ لِقائِهِ

And may He light his grave with a portion of the Fire,

And He illuminated his grave with a spark from hellfire,

and comfort him with terror when he meets Him.

And made him feel horror when meeting Him.
