Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya-Parts1-2

Part two
You will need Him ultimately and find,
That there is none whom you can help, nor one who
can help you.
Take each step warily,
So that you depart from this world in truth.
So that God should become your Friend,
And should look upon you kindly.
So that you drink the wine of His love,
And be totally inebriated with it.
This world is not the place to live forever;
Tread carefully, lest you come to a bad end.
The love of the Living One will increase your light;
What benefit can you derive from the love of
the dead?
The food, the belly, the head, the crown,
Are all God’s gifts;
Render to the Creator the rights that are due
to Him,
And show some remorse before you leave this world.
