O death!
Messenger of the Almighty
Taker of life
And the giver of mourning
O death!
The taker of parents from the children
The taker of children from the parents
And the taker of people from their loved ones
O death!
Where is your sting?
Where is your victory?
Where is your wailing power?
O death!
Are we to celebrate you
As a messenger of God
Or as a destruction that must befall mankind
O death!
Whoever sees you is without life
Nobody wants a meeting with you
Peradventure when we grow older
