If God remains silent,
Injustice, who will punish?
If agony is permanent,
To live, who will wish?
If hatred is so rampant,
Cruelty, who will banish?
Pain only comes again and again,
Chain of losses creates each bargain,
Strain-had produces not any gain,
How can God be so indifferent
When heart is by fate punctured?
In helping not, why God is adamant,
Though the soul is badly fractured?
If noble deeds get no compliment,
World will remain poorly structured.
