Afterlife Seems To Be Very Far Poem by Mohammad Younus

The afterlife seems very far,
but on earth, we must understand:
the afterlife is no farther than the blink of an eye.
Separation is hard to believe for one who is an Ārif.
Be it this life or the afterlife, you are the same in both worlds.
No one stays here forever,
no one becomes nonexistent.
Those who come to the world will go one day.
If you want to know the meaning of life,
drink the sherbet of life while living.
They say those who drink the sherbet of life never die.
This world is like a bridge, Puli-Sirāt.
Unless you pass over this bridge safely,
you cannot reach your final abode,
the paradise where you will dwell forever.
Verily, in Allah's presence is the greatest reward.
Therein you will abide beyond the count of time.
The ignorant do not know it.
