What Is Life Poem by Akhtar Jawad

What Is Life

Rating: 4.8


A friend once asked,
What is life?
My lovely friend,
Your belief is your life,
And your thinking is your belief,
And your God is your thinking.

If you believe about death,
It is ultimate and final,
While having experience,
You can't describe,
The last moments of your life,
Will be hell for you.

How grieved will be you,
To think and regret,
You will be no more,
Not on the earth,
Not at the sky,
You are going to die, for ever, for ever.

But if you believe,
Your body is mortal,
But your soul is immortal,
And death is nothing,
But the soul will get,
Another form of life.

Your body may be impure,
Do not worry, be confident,
If your soul is pure,
It has three basic colors,
Keep it in your mind,
Your body is mortal.

The three primary colors are,
Faith and love and sacrifice.
These colors make all other pretty colors,
So lovely so nice so beautiful indeed,
And if your soul is beautified,
You will see a rainbow, in the final moments.

It's a beautiful poem. I liked the three primary colors of a pure soul that you described. 'And if your soul is beautified, You will see a rainbow, in the final moments.' - Hope to see a beautiful rainbow in the final moments. These lines are a befitting end to a beautiful discourse.
