Hope !

hmmm....few days ago...

I was waiting outside the TDC (Teachers Development Centre) for my beloved husband and Urooj and Komal were kind enough to give me company...

While we...were deeply infused to our girly talk...

I noticed the strange tree at the corner of TDC's building.

Why I noticed it strange because there was just branches stretching out from its big..broad stem....while no sign of leaves anywhere on any branch.

It looked old...I said to my self and may be due to its old age shed off all its leaves and now only the old...lonely body (with stem and branches) are left behind....hmmm....

The tree surely seems to lost its youth and bloom.

I kind a sigh on the tree's lonely figure standing alone and looked so plain and sad under the shadow of old building.

hmmm....and than suddenly....the lonely old tree grown on me....

I felt it so deeply....I don't why...I looked for answers...why just a TREE is making me perplexed....uneasy and lonely...?

The tree was without leaves means that the ground is unable to give it the complete nourishment...the ground...the earth has stopped giving the tree the actual share it needed to grow up its leaves...its greenery is dependent on the earth nourishment and what tree can be looked like when it couldn't get the required nourishment....

So....may be the EARTH has some issues with the TREE....the tree's long life must have made a strong bond between them....what was that which behold the earth not to give tree's share to it than....???

hmm....I start seeing the case as metaphor toward my beloved Pakistan.

Our Pakistan has all the ground....strong roots...broad...strong stem and branches all over it....

Even than...it is void of greenery..the leaves...which shows that the tree is healthy and would one day give fruits too....it will bloom in the spring and will give chances to new generations to get flourish and to get birth...as healthy as itself.

But it is standing still...lonely....without greenery...under the shadow of so many old generations....

Seems like EARTH has taken out its hands from the tree's nourishment....

Again question arises.....WHY? Was it TREE or the EARTH's unfair distribution of nourishment???

But than...just today....again when I was standing under the same tree....I asked it.....

Hi...TREE....what's wrong with you....? Why you don't have any leaves? Why you seems so sad and lonely and without greenery ?

And tree....laughed.....yeah literally....I heard it laughed....

It says....To Allah be all Glory....

~

Even though I have been under the unfair adjustments of earth and its nourishment...

~

Allah has granted me FLOWERS....which means that one day I can bear fruits too...

and I can be multiplied and give birth to new generations....

~

hmmm...and than I looked closely....yes....the old...void of leaves stems were bearing ....white beautiful flower buds.....

~

Though the tree looked more odd now...like without any leaves and old...sticky stems having white...blooming flower buds....

~

And it gives me HOPE....hmmm....

~

Allah is there to help our beloved country too....

~

Even we are under the shadow of so many strong eras and history...victim of earth's unfair distribution of nourishment....but Allah is there to even than gives us the flowers....blooming and life.

To Allah be all glory !
