Hopelessness

When you want it to last

Not a request for a good moment, but for a good ending to a long one.

وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ

Wa-ʿbud rabbaka ḥattā ya'tiyaka-l-yaqīn.

“And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty [i.e., death].”

Certainty here means death. The instruction has no finish line short of it.
