Despite the frenzy and obvious fun, 7aki Fadi calls for a truce.

Then , if he is one of the honoured ,

There will be peace and plenty , and gardens of tranquility for him .

Then if the dying one is of those having proximity ,

Then is relief , and flowers and Gardens of peace .

Then , if he be of those brought nigh the Throne ,

there shall be repose and ease , and a Garden of Delight

Then if he be of the broughtnigh .

For him shall be comfort , and fragrance and a Garden of Delight .

Then , if he ( the dying person ) be of the Muqarrabun ( those brought near to Allah ) ,

( There is for him ) rest and provision , and a Garden of delights ( Paradise ) .

But if he is one of those brought near .

Then happiness , and flowers , and Garden of Delights .

So if he is one of those who are near stationed ( to Allah ) ,

then happiness and delight and Gardens of Bliss are his .

Thus if he is of those brought nigh ,

Then breath of life , and plenty , and a Garden of delight .

Then , if he be of those brought near ,

then ease , abundance , and a garden of bliss .

If he is among the near

there shall be calmness and ease , a Garden of Delight .

And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah ,

Then for him is rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure .

( If a dying soul ) is of those near to God ,

it will have rest , happiness , and a beautiful Paradise .

Then if he is one of those drawn nigh ( to Allah ) ,

Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss .

But if he the dying person is one of those brought near to God ,

then for him there shall be comfort and plenty and a Garden of Bliss

Thus , then , if he be of those Nearest to Allah ,

( There is for him ) Rest and Satisfaction , and a Garden of Delights .

And then three emotions for which there are no English words fiero, which is the pride in accomplishment of a challenge schadenfreude, which is happiness in another's misfortune, a malicious pleasure and naches, which is a pride and joy in one's children.
