Pain, The Human Ally Poem by Nayyab Younas Khan

I believe I see Pain
More than just what makes you cry

For when you are in pain,
You then can feel the agony of others

For when you are in pain,
You are more human, less wild

For when you are in pain,
You can nag God like never before

For when you are in pain,
You witness the process to reborn as precious gem

For when you are in pain,
It may ache, but your soul attains a rare peace

I have seen happiest of all being ignorant of God,
and worries faced by those around them

I have seen them thinking they will remain happy
forever

I have seen them broken facing pain,
a foe to them and friend to rare

And then I have seen those who take pain
as their closest ally

Their feet remain on the ground, but their
spirits reaching the seventh sky

It's a matter of belief that's
all I say

Happiness is no wholly good and
Pain is no fully bad to thy
