Why did you not show mercy to the poor? What has God done?

This powerful couplet delves into the mystery of divine justice. Mir Taqi Mir questions the Almighty after observing the inevitable downfall of false idols and false beliefs. He asks: if God did not spare even the idols, what power is greater than His? It’s a deep philosophical reflection on the transient nature of material worship and the ultimate supremacy of divine will.
