1. لا توص عند الموت

    إلا بالوديعة والديون

    Leave no instructions at death,

    except concerning entrusted property and debts.

  2. ودع التشاغل بالحطام

    كفاك شغلك بالمنون

    And cease busying yourself with worldly chaff;

    your preoccupation with death is enough for you.

  3. فوصية الأموات بالأحيا

    ء من شعب الجنون

    For the dead's instructions concerning the living

    are among the branches of madness.
