What is the ruling on saying: "And we lived death many times without a grave or shrouds"?

The statement: "We experienced death without a grave... and without shrouds" could be true if it refers to witnessing the death of others or coming close to death. This expression is part of a poem in which the poet expresses pain and oppression with poetic exaggeration. A believer should have a good opinion of their Lord, be optimistic, and know that after hardship comes ease.
