وہ بچارے کہ بیمار ہیں جو                    جنّ و جادو سے بیزار ہیں جو

اپنی رحمت سے ان کو شفا کی                 میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

وہ کہ آفات میں مبتلا ہیں                      جو گرفتارِ رَنج و بَلا ہیں

فضل سے ان کو صبر و رِضا کی            میرے مولٰی تُو خیرات دیدے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

(Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 34)

Remember! The time of agonies of death is very hard. The one who passes through this state can feel its severities. If a deceased comes out of his grave and tells the people of this world the state of the pain of death, the peace
