اگر بندہ اپنی موت اور اس کی رفتار کو دیکھ لے، تو وہ لمبی امیدوں اور ان کے فریب سے دشمنی کرنے لگے۔
English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ
“If a person were to see his end and its speed, he would hate long hopes and their deception.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ identifies **long hopes** as a primary source of spiritual distraction. When we assume we have many years left, we procrastinate on our moral development and good deeds. This wisdom suggests that the “deception” of the world lies in making the distant feel near and the near (death) feel distant. By keeping our mortality in mind, we naturally prioritize what is truly important over what is merely temporary.
موت کی رفتار دیکھ لو تو امیدوں کے فریب سے نفرت ہو جائے۔
“If a man saw his end and its speed, he would hate long hopes and their delusions.”
