In times of ease and prosperity still you frown,
 Forgetting all blessings, longing for the golden crown.
O Human! Your case is amazing!
Having a valley of gold, for another still yearning!
To awaken you from the slumber of deeds vain,
A heeding comes in the guise of pain!
 As for the covetous, life is full of misery,
Discontent in prosperity, hopeless in adversity.Â
Behold! All the blessings for the godly,
Grateful in prosperity, patient in adversity!
For the metal must be cast into furnace,
 If the impurities are to efface!
And to maintain its beauty, a tree,
 Of decayed leaves it must be free!
So be not down with the pain,
You may not see the gain.
And with patience you must sustain,
 For nothing permanently will remain!
This pain will end too,
Leaving behind a better you!

Marsha Allah, The style is so beautiful and flowing, the words so captivating and full of wisdom. It is amazing how the start begins with the scenario of prosperity as the usual majority think that they are in difficulty. However if we reflect, really we are in ease. We have a place to stay. We have food to eat. We have clothes to wear. We have family and friends that Love and care. Yet Life has seems to be so full of misery to most of us. This is just due to our perspective and not due to the reality of our situation, no matter how serious our problems seem.
It made me think. It also inspired me to feel positive and feel a great sense of peace, having reversed my sights to look again at the bigger picture.
Thank you for an excellent poem Sahil.
Thankyou for your words of encourangement! La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah!
…and materialistic gains are vanity forever whilst blessings are vitures acquired for being grateful to the Creator; Lord Whom there is nothing comparable to Him=ALLAH!
Nice poem…
Well , while I was reading his piece of work I had a flash back of Surah Rehman. Allah has never left his believer in vain.It is only we who make it difficult and depressing.Sahil has beautifully portraied the jist in his poem.Words are convincing and in a flow.Well done!
Very true, we always focus on the little we dont have and ignore so much we already have! Thankyou!
This poem was speaking to me. I’m really going through a lot at the moment, without a job and all, that I was always tend to forget I am blessed with relatively good health and a loving family. Times we find ourselves in (good or bad) are indeed not permanent. They are all tests from Allah SWT. Thank you. I feel encouraged.
Allah bless you with halal rizq. Jazak Allah!
