शैतान की न मान जो राहत-नसीब हो
अल्लाह को पुकार मुसीबत अगर पड़े
— Akbar Allahabadi
Meaning
If you are blessed with comfort and ease, do not obey Satan, and if any trouble or hardship befalls you, call upon Allah.
Explanation
This couplet offers a gentle reminder on how to carry oneself through life's shifting fortunes. When blessed with comfort and ease, it is easy to become complacent, arrogant, or tempted by lower impulses, which the poet warns against as the devil's whisper. Conversely, when adversity strikes, the only true refuge is to turn sincerely to the Divine with humility and faith.
