WHY SHOULD I BE TRIED?

If this life is a trial
and tribulation
Then what is annoyance?
When You have become
the opponent's
then why should I be tried?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In religious scriptures it is mentioned that this life is a trial and that we must not succumb to Satan. It is also said that Satan has been allowed a life span till the Day of Resurrection. Satan means OPPONENT/ OPEN FOE. Here the same has been tackled in a philosophical manner. It is a literal translation of a couplet by Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib.
