Humayun

(Mister Justice Shah Din Marhum)

O Humayun ! your life was full of warmth
Your spark was an assembly-enlightening lamp

Though your earthly body was slim and weak
Your elegant disposition was bright like a star

How fearless a heart in this frail body was
A universal flame in this handful of dust was!

But the intelligent heart was not at all afraid of death
In night's silence there is nothing except morrow's affairs!

The imprudent ones consider death is the end of life
This apparent evening of life is the morning of perpetual life!
