An advise from Iblis [Satan]
Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) narrated the following for Hafs bin Ghiyaath: One day Iblis appeared before Hadhrat Yahya (‘a) in the state of having so many ropes hung around his neck.

به من بفهمون کجای سرنوشتم
به من بفهمون کجای سرنوشتم
دارم میرم جهنم یا راهی بهشتم
از این دو راهی دل خوشی ندارم
یا می خورم به پاییز یا می رسه بهارم
باز تا ابرا همش تبعید می شم
با هیچ کوهی سر سازش ندارم
یه موجم که با دریا قهر کرده
بدون تو من آرامش ندارم
گمت کردم ولی غافل از اینکه
خدا با این بزرگی گم نمی شه
مواظب بودی از دستت نیفتم
هوامو داری و داشتی همیشه
دارم نابود می شم دود می شم
بذار آتیش این دوری تموم...
