Even if you were to drown, do not avail of the beloved's raft. If you want to meet Him, take the anti-current course. Proceed in the direction where no human habitation is in sight. (You should exclusively rely on Allah and commit yourself to Him. Forsake materialism in totality unlike other persons).

Touch not friend's raft, go maid!
"with my help you crossed" on judgement day lest he says.

Touch not friend's raft even though you drown,
Take opposite forward step if you seek love divine,
Take that that side where there is none to save.

Those who drown on dry land, Sahar is their help,
On his shoulders they will be carried to cross the waves,
They reach in no time, who seek distant goal.

Even if drown, depend, not on the beloved's raft,
If you want to meet the beloved, swim against the current,
Step in the direction, where there are no human habitations.
