Earths bedO earth! The bed within you, is today lying bareBut one day this stranger will occupy youSo embrace my bones gently -with tender compassionAnd do not become my enemyO earth! I have lived and experienced some lifeBut never turned away from your memoryYour silent call beckons-and severs my laughterAnd your stillness has never deserted meO earth! Allah knows when I must keep company with youThe day my blanket is your soilSo expand your narrowness for this fearful entrantAnd shield from me all of your toilThis traveller will return to the dust she was made fromTo face an eternal new lifeO grave! Prepare for me a pillow of comfortAnd shine onto me, your welcoming light
