When you see my hearse, don’t cry, "He’s gone, gone!"
Remember, union and encounter are mine in that hour.
When you commit me to the grave, don’t say: "Goodbye,
goodbye."
The grave is a curtain concealing the community of
Paradise.
After looking upon descent, consider resurrection;
To the sun and moon, is setting a calamity?
To you death is a setting; in truth it’s a rising.
Though the grave seems like a prison, it comes as the
soul’s release.
Shut your mouth on this side of death, open in beyond.
Your song will be triumphant in nowhere’s air.
from James Cowan's translation in
Rumi’s Divan of Shems of Tabriz, Selected Odes
