Life has come to an end,
The moments I lovingly spend,
approach fast like a train,
as if everything in vain.
That essence of mine is about to leave,
as if carried away by a breeze.
Every part of me is dying,
my body is still lying,
my wickedness haunts me,
my conscience taunts me,
for all the hurt that I caused,
for all the miseries I created,
I seek forgiveness,
but now it’s too late,
time tells me straight.
Departing from this world,
my eyes have become blind,
I leave everything behind.
I am filled with regret,
for the things I didn’t care,
for the love, I didn’t show,
made my soul go low.
I am leaving this world,
leaving behind all that I have earned,
Oh, Merciful!
Cast upon me some ruthe,
Death is the Eternal Truth.
