An account of those who remain apprehensive of death

۞
It will seem as if it has come to you all of a sudden, silenced those who were whispering to you, separated your group, destroyed your doings, devastated your houses and altered your successors to distribute your estate among the chief relatives, who did not give you any benefit, or the grieved near ones who could not protect (you), or those rejoicers who did not lament (you).
فَكَأَنْ قَدْ أَتْاكُمْ بَغْتَةً فَأَسْكَتَ نَجِيَّكُمْ، وَفَرَّقَ نَدِيَّكُمْ، وَعَفَّى آثَارَكُمْ، وَعَطَّلَ دِيَارَكُمْ، وَبَعَثَ وُرَّاثَكُمْ، يَقْتَسِمُونَ تُرَاثَكُمْ، بَيْنَ حَمِيم خَاصٍّ لَمْ يَنْفَعْ، وَقَرِيب مَحْزُون لَمْ يَمْنَعْ، وَآخَرَ شَامِت لَمْ يَجْزَعْ.
