I brought ivory taps
Will wash your face
(2) Bismillahirrohmanirrohim
Hey iron wake up you king of iron
The one called the double can
You sit at the head of my heart
Leaning on the pillar of the throne
I ask you to leave my human
I ask you to be humble, all of you
Thanks to me wearing Sayyidina Ali's natural form
Longitude then transverse broken
Then also God's will
Thanks to Lailahaillallah
Muhammadurrosulullah

located at the end of the earth
Blind demon blind gnome
who will not sound

The call to prayer is whispered into the baby's ear
Bismillah...
Mate, don't look around
Ears don't listen
Tongue don't talk.
Don't eat your mouth.
Muke don't scowl at him.
Lips don't go down.
Purut do not protrude.
Don't be slippery.
Pale don't be as bald.
Don't hold hands.
Feet do not align.
Don't be skinny.
Inshallah... Wabarakallah...
Don't cry so much
Be angry, don't be angry
Don't forget the brain.
The heart is not empty.
Don't get blood dirty.
Puah! Alhamdulillah

Jong sengkang steering stirrup
Pull the flower screen

Third with goose bones
Broken bones change joints
Don't destroy the body
