And you have no one who can listen to your cries!
And you have no one who can listen to your cries![^2] ملجأ التقوي لِمَن يا أَيهَا المَغرُورُ تَحوِي مِنَ المَالِ المُوَفَّرِ وَالأَثَاثِ سَتَمضِي غَيرَ مَحمُودٍ فَريدَاً وَ يخلُو بَعلُ عِرسِکَ بِالتُّراثِ و يخذُلُکَ الوَصِي بِلاَ وَفَاءٍ وَ لاَ إصلاَحِ أَمرٍ ذِي التِياثِ لَقَد وَ فَّرتَ وِزراً مَرَّ حِينَاً يسُدُّ عَلَيکَ سُبُلَ الاِنبعاثِ فَمَا لَکَ غَيرَ تَقوَي الله حِرزٌ وَ لاَ وِرزُ وَ مَا لَکَ مِن غِياثِ Cure of Sins You can heal every pain with tolerance, while there is no cure for the sickness of your sins Except for crying in Merciful God’s presence; accompanied by the fear (of God) and hope And also nothing other than long dark nights with pitch black curtains; spent wide awake (while praying) in the hope of forgiveness And also nothing other than showing remorse and regret, from the sins and the deviated path that you were in all the time If you be like this, maybe tomorrow you will reach a position where you will be happy and free from the chains of worldly and polluted attachments O you!
Who is deceived by this world; whom are you collecting these belongings and household goods for? Soon you will pass from this world in an unpleasant way and alone (it will be) While after you, your widow will be left alone with all your belongings, While your successors will abandon you without even being loyal to your advice; without even arranging the works which were left by you in disarray You collected so many sins that in the long run it closed all the doors of awakening and deliverance upon you And now, apart from Allah’s fear, you have no shelter and support.
And you have no one who can listen to your cries![^3] معالجة الذنوب تُعَالِجُ بِالتَّطَبُّبِ کُلَّ دَاءٍ وَلَيسَ لِدَاءِ ذَنبِکَ مِن عِلاَجِ سِوَي ضَرَعٍ إلَي الرَّحمَنِ مَحضٍ بِنِيةِ خَائِفٍ وَ يقِينِ رَاجِ وَ طُولِ تَهَجُّدٍ بِطِلاَبِ عَفوٍ بِلَيلٍ مُدلَهِّمِ السِّترِ دَاجِ وَ إظهَارِ النَّدَامَةِ کُلَّ وَقتٍ عَلَي مَا کُنتَ فِيهِ مِنِ اعوِجَاجِ لَعَلَّکَ أن تَکُونَ غَداً عَظيماً بِبُلغَةِ فائِز مَسرُورٍ ناجِ Safe Path Perform only those tasks which will take you towards freedom and salvation Those tasks that you anticipate will help you achieve salvation with great pace and that will help you and rescue you from the austerities of the Day of Judgment Purifying your soul of sins; doing good deeds to believers and having good intentions for relatives and those around you Only these things can help you receive God’s mercy If you think of doing good deeds all the time, salvation is yours.
