A Soul on Fire
Md. Nurul Haque
A soul on fire is like impeccable metaled wires,
directly exchanges the message to God it aspires.
A soul on fire is like a disconnected electron,
That is desperate and mighty to meet the proton.
A soul that hunts the truth becomes defiant and bold.
It hugs deaths but is never to be bent and sold.
A soul on fire is like Abraham on a burning scaffold.
Ignores the angels’ help and awaits God’s hold.
A soul on fire is like a powerful tool.
That is too wise to create and destroy like a mad bull.
A soul that suffers and wriggles invites God to abode
None is required to read the message to decode.
A soul on fire is full of power and wisdom,
All prophets and saints suffer to inherit God’s kingdom.
