1. I have not said a thing with my mouth
Except my mind was its inspiration

2. I am the son of my mind alone
My words reveal me

3. With it I was guided in my youth
Like in my old age

4. And there may have been matters
Of which I was blind

5. Or I may have shot arrows
That missed their mark

6. Certainty in the talk
Of resurrection is not like fancy

7. What fits with my reason, after
I have thought and reflected

8. That I will live again after
My greatest has worn away in my grave

9. And that I will rise from dust
Sprouting like anemones

10. And that I will attain existence again
Returning from my nothingness

11. And that my body will return from me
With my blood flowing through it

12. And that I will tread lightly walking
Bearing my head and my feet

13. And that I will see light with my eyes
After prolonged darkness

14. And hear words with my ears
After that deafness

15. And that I will walk submissively
Between the hands of the avenger

16. And face judgment for
My major sins and wrongs

17. And that my station will be
The station of a disobedient sinner

18. Witnessed by a raging sea
To which my hands, feet and mouth will testify

19. And that I will pass over the path
Above a blazing ember

20. I almost- if not for my grasping
Its horns- plunge into it

21. It moves swiftly over it
So my God, make me safe

22. It is thinner than a hair in flesh
And sharper than the blade

23. Of a piercing, stabbing sword
Erected over a desolate, raging abyss

24. Seething like an active volcano
Spewing projectiles of magma

25. While people beneath it
Disbelievers and Muslims

26. A rebel who never prayed in life
Or fasted

27. And I see myself plunging
Into Hell from it

28. And remaining there after the fall
Crouched in agony

29. Screaming from the searing pain
And remaining regretful

30. Wishing I had regretted sooner
Until I bite my fingers

31. And wrists and forearms
