Bazaar of Paradise
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Shaykh Muswlih ad-Din Abu Muhammad Sa’adi ibn ‘Abdullah ash-Shirazi (q.s.) wrote, in al-Bustan:
“On
Judgement Day,
When
the bazaar of Paradise will be arrayed,
Rank
will be assigned in accordance with one’s deeds.
If you
should take a goodly stock of virtues,
In
proportion will be your profit;
If you
were to be bankrupt, you will be ashamed.
If
fifty years of your life have passed,
Esteem
as a precious boon the few that yet remain.
While still you have the power of speech,
Close not your lips, like the dead, from the praise of God.”
