سوال ششم

از آن مرگی کہ میآید چہ باک استخودی چون پختہ شد از مرگ پاک است

English translation

Why fear that death which comes from without? For when the ‘I’ ripens into a self it has no danger of dissolution.

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

آنے والی موت کا کیا ڈر ، خودی جب پختہ ہو جائے تو اسے موت کچھ نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکتی۔
