The Moon - Our Hope

-
The moon? Seriously? That might be your reaction after reading the title. But, yeah, here it is. A flame of eagerness to write something was ignited in less than a minute after reading an article on FJournals and I promptly opened my laptop and started wondering on some exciting topic and then as I was sitting in my window, I looked up the dark and gloomy sky as if someone just kidnapped me by pouring a jet-black cloak on me. But, no, I was neither horrified nor frightened by the darkness covering every inch of my body. There was a hope in that darkness, there was some light, yes, a few rays but, enough to soothe my soul with its positivity, asking it not to panic as it is here to show me the path, the way to my destination. And then a physicist of my mind started searching for the source of light. I finally got it - the moon! So, that was how I came up with my topic.


You know our surroundings, our lives or should I say we ourselves are all caught up by this darkness that’s leading us nowhere but to a deep dark hole of pessimism. And you know what, we are letting ourselves to fall deep and deep, making ourselves blind to even that light of hope that is itself inviting us to grab its hand and walk on a road where every step though burdensome, takes you near to your destination. The destination, where you will be standing like that moon may be a lot of imperfections tending you to be called ugly but still people would relate your beauty in metaphors because you were the only one, showering the optimistic luminosity in that murkiness of despair.
In this spreading air of melancholy, let’s sprinkle some drops of hope, confidence and positivity. Come, grab my hand. There’s nothing kept in this deep gloomy well. Come, come to the surface. Let these buoyant rays penetrate your soul transforming you and many others who will surely paint this black cloak of despondency to a fairy dress of sanguineness.
Some of us are doctors and others are going to be doctors soon. But, being in such a sacred profession, many of us are still not getting that peace of mind which can be achieved at every step in spite of such laborious hard work. You know why? Because we are running behind the things which are not eternal, they are just some worldly distractions. Set your goals in life to be always recalled with the word, eternity. And nothing is eternal in this universe but Allah. Serve for Allah, treat for Allah because you are no ordinary human being.
YOU ARE A DOCTOR. YOU ARE CHOSEN BY ALLAH.

Reflection of my moon

Last night, your faded memory came to me, As in the wilderness, spring comes quietly, As slowly in desert, moves the breeze, As to a sick man, without cause, comes peace! The moon of my night, an oasis for my deserted soul and a heavenly shelter from cold buffets of life, was my mother. It was a scenic day glittering with the serene sunshine in the blue sky. That day, she had completely recovered from the demon of hepatitis. The vivacity of life was sparkling in her eyes. The omen of life had totally exalted her to a novel perseverance. She had grabbed the silky life with her caressing hands. The life to her meant her children. The moon of Ramadan was surely an omen of joy for us. We had scheduled our sister's wedding. In that reference, my father and mother were to leave for another city. I bade them farewell under God's heaven and saw them off. "Life is going to be beautiful," I smiled to myself and went to the bed. Suddenly at midnight, violent knocking at

آ دکھاؤں تجھے چیخوں کا خاموشی سے نکلنا، پھر مر جانا۔۔                                                                           زندگی میں جہاں خوشیوں پر رقص ہوتا ہے، وہیں غم و ماتم کا عکس بھی ہوتا ہے، آسانیاں آتیں ہیں مگر مشکلات کے ساتھ۔۔ بعض دفعہ مشکل  نہیں لگتا خود کو درد سے نکال لینا، اذیتوں کے سمندر کی گہرائی میں ڈوب کر کنارے تک ابھرنا اور یہ ثابت کر دینا کہ اگر درد میں دم ہے تو ہم بھی کم نہیں۔۔ مگر ہاں ہر بار، ہر جگہ، ہر کسی کے ساتھ ایسا نہیں ہوتا، جب درد انسان کو کرچی کرچی کردینا چاہے اور سمیٹنے کو شیشہ گر بھی نہ ہو کہ کرچیاں ہی سمیٹ لے، جب ماضی، کسی کے حال اور مستقبل کو اس طرح گھیر لے کہ جینا اور مرنا ایک سا ہو جائے، جب وقت کے جزیرے پر کھڑی، سفید خوبصورت گھوڑے پر آنے والے شہزادے کی منتظر شہزادیاں  مایوسی کی دلدل میں دم توڑنے لگیں، تب درد ، درد نہیں رہتا، "چیخ" بن کر  نکلتا ہے،  گونجتا ہے ، دھاڑتا ہے، سننے والوں کے دلوں کو لرزاتا ہے، دلوں کو موم کرتا ہے  اور پھر کہیں فضاؤں میں تحلیل ہوجاتا ہے۔۔ ایسا درد تو  کسی "بلند چیخ " کا لبادہ اوڑھے راستوں کو ف
