A question brews………..

By Babar Usmani

The "opening of our eyes" in this world fills them with such ecstasy, to which there are no bounds.


The meticulous nurturing, tending to our whims and fancies, showering unwarranted love upon us, all this ensues our birth.


At this a question brews:


How would we know it all?


For we look everywhere but at their selfless eyes, waiting indefinitely for us to spare some of our glimpses.


For we bring into our lives other players.


Our friends, colleagues, careers are exalted to the highest of stature.


But those two individuals, they the very reason for our existence, are damned to living it all by themselves.


Alas! We do not repay them, one bit.


We don't pay the slightest of heed to their needs.


A jolt of a misfortune temporizes our affection for them.


Such is the expectance of these two sacred individuals that they cherish those short lived moments we spend with them, with joy and happiness.


"Reciprocal love" is what they yearn for each passing day.


Not once letting their prayers dwindle for us.


For ever harboring good wishes for our sundry pursuits.


Verily, our unstinted indifference, burdens them with great pain!


This creeping pain, by the time we succeed in our pursuits, to start caring for them, gets the better of them.


At this another question brews, reluctantly, in our deep pits:


Who knows our feats may be reciprocated by the coming "new opening eyes in the world"?
