If you want to tell a customer to pay a bill, then you would say: pay the bill please (idfa3 alfaatoorah law sama7t إدفع الفاتورة لو سمحت). If you are a customer and you want to ask for the bill then you would say: The bill please (alfaatoorah law sama7t الفاتورة لو سمحت).
Hope I answered your question.

Thanx Ehab. I was in a situation a few days ago where I had to find the arabic word for "pay". Fortunately for me, I chose the right word as used above. A question though: In English, we can say "You will pay what you owe". "You will pay for your mistakes". In this context, would you use ستدفع؟

Ehab says

We have a similar term in Arabic (ستدفع ثمن خطئك) which is similar to (You will pay for your mistakes) except we say literally (you will pay the price of your mistake) where (ثمن) is price.

Hope that helps.
