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.”
