Farewell, vain world! I’m going home!
Mohamed smiles and bids me come,
And I don’t care to stay here long!

Sweet angels beckon me away,
To sing God’s praise in endless day,
And I don’t care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Muslims, away up yonder;
Oh, yes, my Lord, for I don’t care to stay here long.

I’m glad that I am born to die,
From grief and woe my soul shall fly,
And I don’t care to stay here long!

Bright angels shall convey me home,
Away to the highest heaven,
And I don’t care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Muslims, away up yonder;
Oh, yes, my Lord, for I don’t care to stay here long.

I long to gaze upon my Lord
The One I worship and adore
And I don’t care to stay here long!

I yearn to be with Mohamed,
His folk, and brethren the blessed
And I don’t care to stay here long!

Right up yonder, Muslims, away up yonder;
Oh, yes, my Lord, for I don’t care to stay here long.

Right up yonder, Muslims, away up yonder;
Oh, yes, my Lord, for I don’t care to stay here long.
