On the Day of Death (Rumi)








On the day of death when my coffin is on the move


Don't suppose I have any pain at leaving this world


When you see my hearse say not


"Leaving! He's Leaving!"


That time will be for my reunion and encounter.


When you commit me to the grave


Say not "Farewell! Farewell!"


For the grave is veil over the reunion of paradise!
