Salaamu Alaykum,
SubhanAllahu, a very good and powerful reminder, and just what I needed at this moment.

Yes, Moiez, since there is no reference, you have to assume the author’s original work. Otherwise, it is called plagiarism ;)

JzkAllah for the kind remarks. Yes this is my own work. One from my collection titled, ‘An Unholy Godliness: Reflections on Man’.

JazakAllah khair Sr. Irum.
Goes to show that people will undoubtedly wrong you and make you upset, and things in life will definitely be difficult, but at the end of the day no believer will be upset with Allah. It just can’t happen, and it doesn’t happen for the believer.
And this is a sign of Eman.

Salam Br. Saqib
You have intrepreted the poem differently and very well too. My thought for writing it was that no matter what we suffer, we need to constantly remember that Allah will make it up to us and will make up for any injustice. He will make our circumstances look and feel ‘right’ even if they seem ‘very wrong’ to the ones watching us. If we constantly remind ourselves of Allah’s supreme law we will become more thankful and less thankless than we often become.
my 2 cents….

The beauty & power of poetry is that it can be interpreted in any way according to one’s angle of thinking , & still get to carry infinite meanings that can apply to one & all , for after all each one of us is unique in our individual thinking & in our understanding & in our expressings , all humble thanks to our Creator’s Endless Creativity .
