Your fine ethical qualities will run before you after your 
death-- 
Without number will your characteristics run before your 
bier . . . . 
In the coffin these pure qualities will become your 
companions, 
They will cling to you like sons and daughters, 
And you will don garments from the warp and woof of your 
works of obedience . . . . 

~ Maulana Rumi
