142 BAr a h i n-e-a h madiyya false doctrines and baseless whims. Do not waste the precious moments of life. This world is transient; do not be enamoured with it. These joys are not forever; do not become heedless on their account. The pleasantries of this lowly life are for a few moments; In the end, you have to face Allah the Almighty. This world is an abode of separation, death and decay; Whoever comes here, has to leave. Go visit the graveyard for a while, And ask the dwellers how they are. [Ask them] ‘What is the final outcome of the worldly life; How long does a living being survive?’ Stay away from malice, arrogance, boasting and coquetry, So that you save yourself from being led to an evil end. Once you depart this world, You will never come back to these cities and countries.
