English translation:
Dust is my bed, embraces me and its my cover now The sand surrounds me even behind my back And the grave tells a dankness of my affliction And the brightness draws a line Where is my familys love? They sold my loyalty! And where is my group of friends? They left my brotherhood! Where is the bliss of money? Its behind my back now And my name (reputation) where is it shine between praises This is my end and this is my bed And love farewells its longing and my elegizing cried And the tears went dry after crying And the universe became narrow and so is my space And the grave became my ground and sky This is my end and this is my bed Fear fills my estrangement and sadness is my illness I expect firmness and I swear its my cure And for Allah i pray faithfully, you are my hope Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it And for Allah i pray faithfully, you are my hope Allah! I desire heaven, to find bliss in it

Another translation:
Dust is my bed, embracing me, and is my cover The sands are around me, engulfing me from all directions And the tomb recounts [ the story of ] the darkness of my calamity And the light has destined that my pleasure is in meeting [Allaah] Where is the kindness of kin? They relinquished fidelity Where are the scores of friends? They dispensed with my brotherhood Where is the bliss of money? I left it behind And where is the glory of fame and compliments?

Thats my end; dust is my bed The beloved bade farewell to his love, and cried my elegy The tears flow dried out, after crying The vast universe shrank, narrowing my space The tomb to my corpse became both my land and my sky Thats my end; dust is my bed Fear overwhelms my estrangement and sadness is my ailment Hoping for steadfastness, which is I swear my remedy Sincerely supplicating to the Lord; You are my hope Hoping- O Allaah for a paradise, in which my bliss shall be attained
