When Death Comes... Poem by Mohammad Younus

When death comes...
...it does not come...
...all of a sudden;
It comes right on time;
Do not say, when you lose...
...someone near and dear...
...uff, his untimely death...
...is for us a shocker!

When we leave our body...
....of flesh and bones...
...that is not our self;
It is only a house made of...
...clay and water;
Don't grieve for it;
Look to the hidden, the living...
...real power...
....the One that is your True self.

Man and all living things, too...
...shed off their body:
Your true self is out of the house...
...like a tenant vacates...
...the rented house after the term;
Your true self never dies!
The true self is the command of Allah.
