In this lesson, we go over the following lines of the poem:   

chon āghebaté kāré jahān neestee hast
چون عاقِبَتِ کارِ جَهان نیستی اَست
Since the end of the affairs of the world is nothingness

engār ké neestee, chō hastee, khosh bāsh
اِنگار کِه نیستی، چو هَستی خوش باش
suppose that you are not,  but while you are, be happy

Andak Andak, a poem by Rumi, and song by Shahram Nazeri, is a wonderful one to listen to about the concept of hastee and neestee.
