Afterlife Is A Certainty... Poem by Mohammad Younus

Afterlife is a certainty...
...when we will be resurrected,
As long as we live on earth,
We must live as if we're tenants here,
No one comes back once he is gone;

Those who come to the world,
Leave after an appointed time,
Drink the sherbet of death...
...one by one,
Death is a bridge...
...every one has to pass over it,
Those under delusion but,
Oh! Ignore this open reality;

Come, let us welcome death,
Let us make the transcendence easier,
Let us love and be loved,
The earth is not an eternal abode,
Let us rather work to inherit,
The garden of eternal bliss;

If you understand the words of truth,
If you understand the stark reality,
You need to bear in your mind,
No one stays in this world for ever,
No one comes back to this world again,
You have to sow here, and reap there.
