In Section 149 of Jami's Haft Awrang, the poet elaborates on the prophetic saying 'People are asleep, and when they die, they awaken.' Jami describes human life in the material world as a state of negligence and sensory illusion, where individuals are consumed by physical desires and bodily self-indulgence. Physical death is presented as a transformative threshold that forcefully awakens the soul from its spiritual slumber, revealing the true, eternal reality of existence that lay hidden behind the veil of worldly life.
