O Zafar, if you can do anything, worry about the hereafter; do not fret over this world, because worldly affairs are easy and insignificant.
Zafar gently turns the mirror toward himself, reminding the soul that worldly entanglements and anxieties are not worth exhausting one's spirit over. The petty affairs of this earthly life eventually resolve or fade away on their own, whereas the eternal journey of the hereafter is what truly requires our care and preparation. It is a warm, contemplative plea to let go of transient worries and nurture what is everlasting.
