Ah! Wish it was as easy as its spoken. Wondering what??
LIFE!!
What made me so philosophical suddenly?? You would be too when death seems to be lurking around ready to strike you or someone who is very close to your heart.
Everyone of us has complaints with our life. Ofcourse the nature of complaint may vary.
Some of us are unhappy with our jobs, and some with our spouses.
Some unsatisfied with what we have, and some unhappy with what others have.
Kisiko apne saans se masla hai toh kisiko apne bahu se.
Kabhi apna shohr acha nahi lagta toh kabhi biwi hi hamesha galat.
Koi apne kaam se khush nahi hai toh kisiko doosro ki tarakki se takleef hai.
He he. And we all know when all these come together we have enough 'MASALA' to enjoy our lifetime. :))
We all are more interested in whats going on in the other person's life.
Magar kabhi yeh socha hai ki aapke zindagi me kya ho raha hai??
I did the same.
Oh no! Itna MASALA toh meri life me nahi tha ke main complain kar sakoon na hi mujhe kisiki aur ke MASALA me interest.
I have very loving parents, wonderful siblings, understanding in-laws, a gem of a husband and a beautiful daughter.
Lavish life with no worries.
I took life for granted. Allah loved me so much that I have been blessed with everything I could ever want and dream of. Definitely Allah loves me for I am so privileged, Alhumdul'llah.
But, amid all these, I forgot that there is no guarantee for tomorrow.
I had forgotten that death has a way of knowing its presence in the most unexpected ways. But should we let the fear of death overshadow our day to day life?
Probably not.
Why?
If that was the case Allah would not have given us a life full of hapiness in the form of Family and Friends.
Then its ok to just forget about death.
No. Death reminds us of whats awaiting us in the hereafter. What we do here reflects on what we deserve in the hereafter. So death is a constant reminder whenever we are performing any deeds- good or bad.
The past month has made me reflect upon the life I have been leading. I do not regret anything nor do I have anything to complain of except that I know only of today and I have no idea what tomorrow holds. For tomorrow brings along with it the shadow of uncertainity in the form of Death.
Last but not the least I would like to share with you a few words I tried putting together.
Kal kisne dekha hai?
Na hum ne yeh samjha hai
Jis zindagi ko humne apnaliya,
wo to bas ek chehra hai
Jana to hamein kahin aur hai
kab ye kise maloom
Jis pal mein hum kal ka sochte hai
Kya ugle ka hame maloom?
Apna ke is jahan ki khushiyan
Khudko de rahe jhooti tasalli
Allah ko jo jawab dena hai
Kya uska bhi ab hamein dar nahi?
Iski parwa hai aur uski parwa
Jhooti shaan mein hai sara jahan
Jiski parwa hai sabse bada
Usko kyon bhoole ja rahe hai hum yahan?
Is soch mein ke kal hai
duniya ki gadi chale ja rahi hai
Magar ye hum sabko pata hai
Kal kisne dekha hai?
Usi ne mitti mein jaan dali
Usi ne andhera aur roshni banayi
Usi ne ache bure ka faraq banaya
Usi ne zindagi ke mode banaye
Wohi dene wala hai aur wohi lene wala
Kal kisne dekha hai ye hum kyon soche?
Kal aaj aur kal, Bas Allah hi dekhne wala hai
You are given only one life. Enjoy it. But not at the expense of your Imaan.
