[Sunlight] "With God's presence"

~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Life without repentance is spiritual agony;
to be absent from God is immediate death.
Life and death both are sweet with God's presence:
without God even the Water of Life is fire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`Omr bi tawbeh hameh jân kandan ast
marg-e hâzer ghâyeb az Haqq budan ast
`Omr o marg in har do bâ Haqq khvosh bovad
bi Khodâ Âb-e Hayât âtesh bovad

-- Mathnawi V: 770-771
Version by Camille and Kabir Helminski
