Once there was a simple soul,
living in his own pure world
Living a life which taught
the ways of God and virtue
Loving every soul which came
his way, not hating even
those who did him wrong,
leaving the justice on the divine.
A strange twist of fate brought
him face to face with devil
Who asked for his soul
and promised heaven in return.
He told him in cold pride
that heaven can be won
only by following the path
of truth and shunning evil.
The devil looked at him
with eyes full of fury and scorn
and said I offered you a deal
of life time, and you refused
I will leave no stones
unturned to make you mourn
for this offer, you will beg
on your knees for the same, broken.
For years he was tormented by devil,
his followers and tempters,
They tried to extinguish
every candle that he lighted
They used every trick to scare him,
to lure him, to fool him
to the path of their master,
but all their tricks failed.
The man noted with humble delight
every time he took
the wrong path an invisible hand
beckoned him back,
whenever the night was too dark
he saw a shining star
whenever the dark clouds gathered
he found a loving shelter.
Then one day in the golden twillight
of his last glory days
He hugged his children and told them
when you are surrounded
by evil count your blessings,
stay in the path of God, don’t go stray,
because when the end will come,
as per your deeds will you pay.
