The Time Before Death Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAABC AD EFGHIJCKD LM NOP G

Friend hope for the Guest while you are aliveA
Jump into experience while you are aliveA
Think and think while you are aliveA
What you call 'salvation' belongs to the timeB
before deathC
-
If you don't break your ropes while you're aliveA
do you think ghosts will do it afterD
-
The idea that the soul will join with the ecstaticE
just because the body is rottenF
that is all fantasyG
What is found now is found thenH
If you find nothing nowI
you will simply end up with an apartment in theJ
City of DeathC
If you make love with the divine now in the nextK
life you will have the face of satisfied desireD
-
So plunge into the truth find out who the Teacher isL
Believe in the Great SoundM
-
Kabir says this When the Guest is being searched forN
it is the intensity of the longing for the GuestO
that does all the workP
-
Look at me and you will see a slave of that intensityG

Kabir
