Unrewarded

Unrewarded

In the name of God, prayers are sung everyday

Day and night, relegating every vital thing away

Always faithful in my duties to serve my Lord

It shields me from all kinds of earthly miseries

And entitles me to be in the garden of canaries

But... I always sit on the ledge in apprehension

My mind is messed up with crazy superstitions

I have postulated my own theory on Providence

Life is clogged with lies making it awfully filthy

And crammed with irrational thoughts of insanity

Maelstrom of undesirable sorrow pulls me in

I am stuck in an abyss of despair and chagrin

Without understanding the cause for my pains

Wandering in this darkness is not helping me

Oh, Lord; unshackle me from unbearable misery

*      *      *

My Dear Child,

Your faith is unrewarded because of your pride

It brags about your conceit for it is not kept aside

Stabbing the hearts of dear ones who helped you

And inflicting unrecoverable pains in their souls

So your prayers are relegated as unopened scrolls

You should know that you are an imperfect being

Thus, I created you to have emotions and feelings

Which are same in the hearts of people around you

Drench your eyes with the joy seen in those dear eyes

Learn to honor those souls praying for your cries

You bow your head down to show your humility

And join your hands in your prayers for mercy

Rest assured that it will not help until you change

Think on your acts that jabbed the hearts of others

They will unfold your wrongs one after another

Learn to be the champion of genuine kindness

Let the words from your mouth have cheerfulness

Be a tender soul for those who care for your heart

Do not be rude and put a leash on your tongue

Remember, I am the only judge for the unsung

Be obliged to those who pray for your redemption;

They entreated me to guide you out of perturbation

By sparking a faint light from your despairing soul:

Their prayers have compelled me to act right away

Before the sun rises on the horizon for a new day
