The speaker’s distress becomes more accepting.

Option D.

Explanation :

At the beginning of the poem, the speaker is scared, disturbed by the unexpected misfortune that has struck her. The fire is engulfing all and eventually his home, the place she lives in with all the belongings is turned to ashes.

She had decided to rest a while but her peace was disrupted by the devastation she witnesses. The trunk, the chest, the table, all was gone.

At first, the poet felt doomed and full of sorrow. Then gradually she understood that all things material were bound to perish. God gave them and took them away.

Now the only thing he seeks is the heavenly treasure in abundance in the abode of God. Precisely speaking, she seeks Almighty’s blessings. She wishes farewell to his material possessions and shows acceptance of God’s will.
