THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY
THIS TOO SHALL PASS AWAY
"This too shall pass", a Persian adage,
Reflects the ephemerality of human condition.
How much it express!
How chastening in the moment of pride!
How consoling in the depths of affliction!
When it is difficult
To be entirely positive,
We must believe,
"This too shall pass."
When things are bad,
Remember it won't remain the same.
Take your own time
Think it just as a passing cloud.
While things are too good,
Never forget to remember
"This too shall pass",
Enjoy every present moment.
Nothing is permanent,
Change alone is persistent.
Don't put yourself in stress
Believe yourself. Have faith in God.
