What do you really possess,
And what have you gained in this life?
What pearls have you brought up
From the depths of the sea?
On the day of death,
Your physical senses will vanish.
Do you have the spiritual light
To illumine your heart?
When dust fills your eyes in the grave,
Will your grave shine brightly?
(Masnavi 2: 939-41)
Jalaluddin Rumi (1207 – 73)
