You should not tell me, ‘Death is a message of luxury and pleasure’; You should not draw the picture of Sharab-i-Tuhoor's* ecstasy. (Sharab-i-Tuhoor: This is the holy beverage, or wine of Paradise which, according to the Holy Qur’an is free from the evils of the earthly wines – 47:15; 76:21; 78:35 and 83:25 28.)

Do not feel grieved by separation from the Houri; do not present the Houri in the mirror of words.

Do not make me fascinated by the beautiful cup bearer; do not describe the Houri, do not relate the Salsabil’s* story’ * One of the streams of Paradise.

I do not doubt Paradise being the place of peace; your message is not proper for the life's prime!

Ah! How long should youth linger in hope; joy is not joy for which you remain waiting.

What worth is the beauty which is in need of the discerning eye; which is obligated for the tomorrow for its manifestation?

Strange is the feeling for life: ‘Today's joy’ is the belief of youth.
