Let not my corpse rot in the Necropolis
Let not my crimes be raised against me while in the earth
Make my flesh and bones safe from maggots

At whose burning the sea rises at dawn
Grant me the immolating flame
Burn my sarcophagus
In opposition to the Lords of eternity
I beg you
Prevent my corpse from putrefying in the realm of the dead
I burn
The lifetime of Osiris is the sky and theirs is the ground
