Uyun Akhbar Ar-Ridha Volume 1

A Residence Short-Lived

Now you live in a residence short-lived

In which the deeds of the doers are accepted

See you not how death encompasses it

And destroys all aspirations

There you rush to fulfill your lustful desires

And procrastinate your repentance

But death will overcome you by surprise

But what will the intelligent learn from this?

Imam Al-Ridha’ (a.s.)
