The shroud and funeral prayers
O’ my countrymen, I’m prepared.
For I’ve bought my shroud, you see!
This white cloth, now- Remains with me day and night!
As you’re yourself aware,
This occupation won’t leave me either.
O’ my countrymen,
Occupation comes with uncertainty.
And now I beseech you,
To be in the state of Wudhu,
For you’ll always be ready,
To offer my funeral prayers!
