M6:775 — این گلوی مرگ از نعره گرفت / طبل او بشکافت از ضرب شگفت
M6:775
Înțeles · به زبانِ تو — Limba ta · AI
Death has been warning you loudly and constantly for your entire life, but you have only just now, at the final moment, begun to hear it.
This couplet personifies Death as a town crier or a drummer, desperately trying to get a person's attention. The imagery is one of extreme, sustained effort: Death's throat is raw from shouting, and its drum has burst from being beaten so relentlessly. Rumi uses this hyperbole to dramatize a spiritual tragedy: the warnings of mortality are not subtle whispers but a constant, deafening roar that we manage to ignore until the very end.
The surrounding verses describe a person's deathbed confession. They admit to having been deaf to God's counsel (M6:771) and preoccupied with worldly crafts instead of remembering their end (M6:772). This couplet, M6:775, is the climax of that realization. It's not that Death has just arrived; it's that its voice, hoarse and exhausted, is finally being heard. The point is a critique of heedlessness (ghaflat). The spiritual path, as framed by the section's title—"Die before you die"—is about learning to hear this drumbeat long before it becomes the final, unavoidable summons.
- گرفت
- Literally 'it seized' or 'it took'. Here, it means 'grew hoarse' or 'became strained/constricted', as when one's throat 'catches' from shouting.
- نعره
- A roar, a loud cry, a shout. It implies a powerful, urgent, and continuous sound, not a gentle call.
- بشکافت
- It split, burst, or was torn asunder. The verb emphasizes a violent rupture from excessive force.
- ضرب شگفت
- An astonishing or wondrous blow/beat. 'Šegeft' conveys something that inspires awe or amazement, here used ironically to describe the sheer, unbelievable intensity of Death's drumming.
