Since the very dawn of mankind

it has baffled many a great mind

Why would God allow so much suffering?

The worldly show, is He really running?

The dynamics seem to contradict His attribute

and still we have to pay to Him tribute

A gem cannot be polished without friction

Man cannot be perfected without tribulation

There's a reason why saints of every era

have found this life to be an enigma

On one hand, they are the ones most loved by Him

Yet, in a sea of affliction, they have to swim

Trials are proportional to man's status

Our true worth, they unveil to us

Only prophets are free from the need of purification

Their tests are nothing but for us a demonstration

They teach us what is gratitude and patience

Why humans are the best of all creations

But what is manifested when man is spiritually ill?

Evil and injustice are the outcomes of free will

Or he would've been a mere puppet in God's hand

and his aspirations would be like castles of sand

But much deeper than that is the real mystery

if known, we won't challenge divine authority

What is the philosophy of our existence?

It is love God wants us to experience

which is impossible without pain's occurrence

just like darkness is to light's prevalence

If no grief be there on a planet like this

who would be inspired by heaven's bliss

Monotony is the other name for extinction and death

Change is the constant since time's first breath

God is extremely proud of His state of infallibility

So He confines this trait only for His own majesty

Human knowledge is of a very fragmentary nature

We will understand only on meeting our Creator!
