Masnarvi Ma'narvi

I died as inanimate matter and arose a plant,
I died as a plant and rose as an animal,
I died as an animal and arose a man.
Why then should I fear to become less by dying?
I shall die once again as a man
To rise an angel perfect from head to foot!
Again when I suffer dissolution as an angel
I shall become what passes the conception of man!
Let me then become non-existent, for non-existence
Sing to me in organ tunes,"To once we came shall we return"
