وَ قِيلَ لَهُ عليه السلام:
It was said to Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him:
كَيْفَ نَجِدُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
How are you, O Amir al-mu'minin?
فَقَالَ ع:
and he replied:
كَيْفَ يَكُونُ حَالُ مَنْ يَفْنَى بِبَقَائِهِ
How can he be whom life is driving towards death,
وَ يَسْقَمُ بِصِحَّتِهِ
whose state of healthiness can change into sickness any moment
وَ يُؤْتَى مِنْ مَأْمَنِهِ .
and who is to be caught (by death) from his place of safety.
