Bilal Wahab Lone
If few moments of this life could be saved, we will meet again .The pain of being away from friends is very painful . I never dreamt of such a long separation. The waiting hours are very tight & frightened. Some memories are good and some are bad. The chain of memories never end. In the struggle of waiting, don’t ask how the morning comes, “put off a lamp and lit a lamp again” it has been a long time to see of yours. Suddenly the memories of the past took hold of my heart and it was not possible for me to pass through as a stranger. Memories of all my people kept ringing in my heart . But my situation was as such that there was nothing I could do. On one hand there was a blush of questions and on the other there was an order not to open my mouth. The whole world was in darkness. The sun was down, the moon was hidden in the black clouds and there was nothing visible from the light of the mercy lamps , It was to happen because of the darkness in the house of justice. The king was unjust & rulers were painless and none could lodge a complaint. The cruelty had crossed its limits and the doors of justice were locked up. The voice of a helpless human touched the throne. The whole worldly system was ruined. The physician and ruler both looked helpless. Great powers of the world bowed down. Before the Judgment, the Day of Judgment appeared. There is a strange atmosphere all around. The faces of the people bear witness to the fact that they are also the victims of the time. Today, everyone is beginning to feel the fear. This realization came when people watched their deaths closely.
Today, everyone felt scared. No matter how much people hide their faces. But time shows everyone a mirror. Today man knows his times and deeds. A minute virus namely Corona started its journey from China engulfed the entire world within no time. The whole world considered it the wrath of lord. It was clear that the Virus worked with all honesty. It never considered race or caste nor creed nor colour, embraced to whom ever he met. The heart wants to curse such a society Where invisible virus can roam freely and innocent visible people in detection centers, heart wants to curse the steps of such a society Where the stoves of media houses keeps mum till the body of a woman is swallowed completely. Now today we are afraid of ourselves, friends & relatives, food is scarce. The doors of relatives are closed. It is perhaps due to we are not afraid of the Lord. There was no question of being afraid of these things otherwise. Habit takes a long way to depart. The world market is hot and everyone wantes to have his own iron.Those who consider themselves clever, take the advantage of time & grind their own axe without thinking the helplessness of innocent people bound in four walls with empty stomach. we are whole heartedly fighting the brath but forgotten the need of bread, clothing and shelter. Although some had big banglows but nothing to eat for days together and there was no one to ask them. We imprisoned them without support. I am sure of their death due to starvation instead of the Corona.
Every time the sun rise brings a new ray of hope and we live with this hope ahead. We wish if few moments of this life could be saved, we will meet again…… Insha Allah.
No doubt there are people in this world who live for others, do not let the lights of many houses to go off. No matter how much they are praised. The world’s major powers have been looked helpless before this virus. I was watching the scene that the people were digging their graves before their deaths. Dead bodies were buried in the same grave altogether. But the irony is that some people are still in dead asleep. They still don’t realise the happening. Hey ……..people. It is still time to awake and realize the situation. Some people don’t even get a piece of land to live, a loaf of bread to eat and an inch of cloth to wear. Today the whole worldly happening scene is coming before the eyes.Tears are rolling down. It seems like a great deal of trouble has come to humanity. The virus released its imprint for ever and shocked the world to its records. Now grave yards are named as corona graveyards. Coffins not available for burying bodies. Coffin-making companies work day and night but even then not every body gets a coffin. Today everyone is saying that they will fight this epidemic by tooth and nail. O …ignorant man will you fight against nature? where from your intellect stops thinking, mercy of God begins for you. It is the time to fold your hands and bow down to seek forgiveness of your past. If you can imagine how terrible will be in the coming days God forbid. Just waiting for that day when Allah’s mercy will be upon us? Every time the sun rise brings a new ray of hope and we live with this hope ahead. We wish if few moments of this life could be saved, we will meet again…… Insha Allah.
