Dust is my bed (Farshy Al Turab)

Dust is my bed
By Meshary Alarada



Dust is my bed
Embraces me
And it's my cover now
The sand surrounds me
Even behind my back

And the grave tells a darkness
Of my affliction
And the brightness draws a line

And where is my family's love?
They sold my loyalty!
My loyalty!

And where is my group of friends?
They left my brotherhood!
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
Dust 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
Dust is my bed

Fear fills my estrangement
And sadness is my illness
I expect firmness and I swear
It's my cure
And for Allah I pray faithfully
You are my hope Allah!
I desire heaven,
To find bliss in it.


From The Quran, Surat Al Jumu'ah, Chapter 62, Verse 8

Say (to them): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allah), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do."  [62:8]

Meanings:

Say: ‘Assuredly the death from which you flee (fa-innahu: the fā’ is extra) will indeed encounter you; then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, [the Knower of] what is [kept] secret and what is in the open, and He will inform you of what you used to do’, whereat He will requite you for it.
