Translation of the song farshy al turab artist Meshary Al-Arada

فرشي التراب يضمني وهو غطائي

Dust is my bed, it has embraced me, and it’s my cover now.

حولي الرمال تلفني بل من ورائي

The send surround me, even from over and above.

واللحد يحكي ظلمة فيها ابتلائي

And the grave tells a darkness of my calamity.

والنور خط كتابه أنسى لقائي

And the guidance was elucidated in his book but, I forget my meeting with God’s.

والأهل اين حنانهم باعوا وفائي

Where is my family’s love? They sold my loyalty.

والصحب اين جموعهم تركوا اخائي

And where are my group of friends? They Left my brotherhood.

والمال اين هناءه صار ورائي

Where is the bliss of money? It’s all behind my back now.

والاسم اين بريقه بين الثناءِ

And where is the glory of fame and its shiny praises? I left it all behind.

هذي نهاية حالي فرشي الترابِ

This is my ending. Dust is my bed.

والحب ودّع شوقه وبكى رثائي

And the Love shuns its pleasure, and my eulogy is wailed.

والدمع جف مسيره بعد البكاء

And the tears dried up after the crying.

والكون ضاق بوسعه ضاقت فضائي

And the universe become narrow, and so did my space.

فاللحد صار بجثتي أرضي سمائي

And then the grave become my ground and sky.

هذي نهاية حالي فرشي الترابِ

This is my ending. Dust is my bed.

والخوف يملأ غربتي والحزن دائي

Fear fills my estrangement, and sadness is my illness.

أرجو الثبات وإنه قسما دوائي

I hope for steadfastness, and I swear it is my remedy.

والرب أدعو مخلصا أنت رجائي

And to God’s I pray sincerely, You are my hope.

أبغي إلهي جنة فيها هنائي

Allah (God’s) I desire Paradise, to find bliss in.
