Death is inevitable and God too is a reality; O slaves of greed, how long will this lust for status and power last?
Here, the poet offers a sobering wake-up call to those consumed by worldly ambition, gently shaking us awake like a wise friend over tea. We spend so much energy chasing titles, power, and applause as if we are invincible, casually forgetting that mortality is inevitable and that a higher accountability awaits. It is a poignant reminder that status is fleeting, and living solely for hollow prestige blinds us to life's truest truths.
