been sure of your death; after you have closed your eyelashes, the presumption of your death has turned to confirmation; the tongue is trembling; your siblings are weeping; you are said that this is your such and such son, this is your such and such brother, but you have been stopped from talking. Hence you cannot speak; your tongue has been sealed due to which voice does not come out. You then die and your soul gets out of your body parts completely; it is then taken to the sky. At that time your brothers gather, bring your shroud and you are given Ghusl [ritual bath] and then you are wrapped in a shroud. Now the ones who inquired after you sit silently and the ones who were jealous of you also feel relaxed. Your family members turn attention to your wealth and your deeds get sealed.

دل سے دنیا کی محبّت دُور کر                         دل نبی کے عشق سے معمور کر

اَشک مت دنیا کے غم میں تُو بہا                  ہاں نبی کے غم میں خوب آنسو بہا
