“While for a soul whose faith equals but a tiny grain of  mustard seed, He works miracles, in order that his faith which is so weak may be fortified; yet for his intimate friends, for his mother, He did not work miracles until He had put their faith to test.”

Saint Therese of Lisieux wrote these words in Story of a soul, Chapter VI. A Sufi thus expresses his insecurity for the process through which Divinity purposefully subjects a devotee to spiritual trials making his life a legend –

तेरी आशिकी से पहले मुझे कौन जानता था

तेरी बंदगी से पहले न किसी से राबता था

तेरे नाम ने बना दी मेरी ज़िंदगी अफसाना।

मुझे इसका गम नहीं कि बदल गया ज़माना

मेरी ज़िंदगी के मालिक कहीं तुम बदल न जाना।

I had no existence until I  got You

My life became alive when I loved You

Anything can change here anytime

O Lord  You  please always be mine

Afsaana- legend
