7 ਵਕ਼ਤ-ਏ ਨਜ਼ ਅਸਾਨ ਕਰ ਤੂ ਹੈਂ ਰਬ-ਏ ਲਤੀਫ਼  
मृत्यु यंत्रणा का समय आसान कर, तू है रब-ए लतीफ़
Make the time of agony/dying easy, you are the gentle Lord. (The scribe has written nezā`. It should be naz`.) وقت نزاع (نزع) آسان کر تو ہیں رب لطیف
8 ਤੌਫ਼ੀਕ-ਏ ਇਲਾਹੀ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ ਤੂੰ ਕਲਮਾ ਕਹਾਂ ਸ਼ਰੀਫ਼
तौफ़ीक़-ए इलाही बख़्श तू, कलमा कहूँ रीफ़
Oh my Lord give me success [as I now die] to say the noble word(s) (i.e.,There is no lord other than Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet). It is the wish of every Muslim to say this line when dying:
لا الہ الا اللہ محمد رسول اللہ
توفیق الہی بخش توں کلمہ کہاں شریف
9 ਦੁਨਿਆ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ ਤੂੰ ਜੋ ਮੇਰਾ ਬੇਹਬੁਦ
दुनिया में बख़्श तू जो मेरी बेहतरी
Oh my Lord grant me in this world which is better for me. دنیا دي وچ بخش توں جو میرا بهبود
10 ਆਖੋ ਸਾਰੀਓ ਮੋਮਨੇ ਨੂੰ ਰੁਹ-ਏ ਰਸੂਲ ਦੁਰੂਦ
कहो सारे मोमिनो रूह-ए रसूल बधाई
All [you] believers! Say greetings to the Soul of Prophet! آکہو ساریو مومنوں روح رسول درود
