I Die

I die when my eyes close forever.
I die when nobody remembers me.
I die when my prayers go unheard.
I die when my inside seem hollow.
I die when I indulge in catching sin.
I die when my efforts befall wasted.
I die when even hatred forsakes me.
I die when I plunge into nothingness.
I die when each hour seem timeless.
I die when mind can no more think.
I die when I ignore plagued humanity.
I die when heart loses power to love.
I die when life pains more than death.
I die when I devastate my Real Self.
