| Them and Us |
-Hasna Fathima

We do see them,
Skeleton like figures and desperate faces...

We do hear them,
Begging for food and craving for shelter...

We do smell them,
Ragged clothes and dirt stained skins...

We do taste the disgust when we watch them,
Searching for a piece of bread in a lump of garbage...

But here's a question!
Do we feel them?
Do we feel the pain in them?
Do we feel the desires of them?

Those poor souls...
They've never known what the word 'comfort' means...
They've never tasted a food which we call 'delicious'...
They've never worn a dress what we think is 'fashionable'...

And then here we lie!
Complaining for the lack of comforts...
Shouting after the cook for a single mistake made on our food...
Sulking because we didn't get enough dresses for the festival...

Have we ever considered the things we posses?
Have we ever wondered how it would be to switch places with them?
Have we ever thought about the uncountable blessings we have got?
Have we ever imagined where we would have been if it wasn't for His Mercy?

Indeed, Allah has given all we need,
Though we keep complaining over silly things...
Will we ever get over this?
Will ever a day come when we think about changing us, rather than trying to change only the world?

''Then, which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?''
[Ar-Rahman-55:13]
