Zuhud

Ketika Singa Tuhan Imam Ali hadir di sebuah majlis.
Seseorang melontarkan kutukan pada dunia.
Haidar menjawab, “Dunia, Nak, bukan untuk dikutuk.”
Celakalah kau jika mengucilkan diri dari hikmah.
Dunia ini seisinya adalah hamparan ladang.
Untuk didatangi siang dan malam.
Segala yang memancar dari martabat dan kekayaan iman.
Seluruhnya dari dunia ini.
Buah hari esok adalah kembang dari benih hari ini.
Orang yang ragu akan merasakan pahitnya buah penyesalan.
Dunia ini adalah tempat terbaik bagimu.
Di dalamnya bekal di hari kemudian dapat kausiapkan.
Pergilah ke dunia, namun jangan dalam hawa nafsu tenggelam.
Dan siapkan dirimu bagi dunia yang lain.
Jika demikian, maka dunia itu akan pantas bagimu.
Berkariblah dengan dunia, demi tujuan semua itu.

― Fariduddin Attar
