Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi

“WHY CLING

Why cling to one life
till it is soiled and ragged?

The sun dies and dies
squandering a hundred lived
every instant

God has decreed life for you
and He will give
another and another and another”

Rumi, The Mathnawí of Jaláluʾddín Rúmí: Volume 5, Persian Text (Gibb Memorial Trust)
