And She Never Came!

I wonder in stars thy roam,
Land worried to call thy home,
You dazzle there as bright moon,
For thy come life will bloom.
With your works each incarcerate,
They pay thy heartfelt homage,
All is but matter of fate,
Bow rolling eyes thy play safe.
 (MADNI)

SHEIKH QAYOOM MADNI

The crowd of students poured out from the class. Some cursing the subject as additional
load to already over-loaded list. Some were chanting the purpose of subject was to aware the student fraternity about the mother Environment. Nonetheless, others were struggling to present their viewpoint, 'what purpose it will serve when nobody takes it open heartedly'. Yes, it was the subject of environmental science, bound on all the students to trespass. However, it will add no points to crazy percentage. So the divided views.
 

It was in this yelling and shouting crowd that Burhan’s eye caught the glimpse of Saboor. There was thundering in each vein of his body, eyes sunk, face faded, sweet came out of the body pores, heart accelerated the blood pumping and finally the desire felt for something, something Burhan had long desired. Burhan became statue for a moment.

The same process happened on part of Saboor. She smiled, had a modest gaze and passed away like a water bubble, reflected some willingness for something.
 

Burhan was a handsome young man. His innocent eyes always have a tale to narrate. He was a man of principles. Morality would reflect in his each act. In addition, nasty things would never find place in his way.
 

Saboor was modest among modesty. She was frank, but fearful. She seemed the butterfly of heavens. To get her was to pluck beautiful rose before surpassing the many thorns. But the rose had made her mind for Burhan.
 

With the coming days the desire to be with each other intensified. Both began to paint the portrait of each other in the heart walls. While the Burhan began to roam in stars to get her, Saboor began to collect fragrance from flower beds to welcome him. Burhan was praying for her in the heavens, Saboor was preparing garland to receive him in the earth. Burhan was ill, Saboor was ready to cure. Though the duo seemed were made for each other, yet both had not uttered a word to express their desires yet.
 

 The encounter happened accidently. Saboor board the same bus in which Burhan was going to travel. On seeing her Burhana’s heart beat went high, emotions became uncontrollable. Saboor sat in a seat next to her. Home come they break the barrier this time. This is an opportunity and we should avail it. The interaction, who will start.  The question was roaming in both the minds. Thanks to the old woman in the bus. When the woman was asked by somebody to leave the extra seat she had occupied, she replied this is for her husband’s and how come she will travel alone without her husband. So everybody burst into laughter. The locked lips of Burhan and Saboor opened for the first time. This time they interacted, yes interaction. Saboor took the initiative referring to woman’s uncompromising attitude towards her husband. Burhan replied by asking her to sit in his seat. The story began.
 

Both lost in each other’s imaginations. The Saboor began,she was knowing all the details about the Burhan, his education, his family background, his hostel life, and all his tastes and preferences. Burhan was left bewildered, how come she know all such details. All This was reflecting love of Saboor for beloved Burhan. Burhan did not know how to start. He began as usual with class work and syllabus. He was pressing hard to tell his story, but something was pulling him inside that was unable to express. On the other hand Saboor was waiting for him to utter a word of love, only once.
 

The journey ended. They don’t express their heart clearly, yet both realized they can’t live without each other. The bond became more and more strong.

Meanwhile Saboora’s other cherishers came to know about the development. They had earlier proposed her, but she rejected. How come will she accept the proposal of dunks and slang guards. So she had a bunch of enmity. But this time she was not alone. Her beloved, Burhan was with her. The rivals also threatened Burhan to quit her. However Burhan was unmoved by their threats. He was ready to lay any sacrifice for her beloved, even the blood.

Burhan and Saboor had not come clear about their relation. Though they had painted each other’s picture in their hearts, yet one thing was unuttered, their love for each other. This process continued for two years.
 

Finally both decided to tell the real story to each other. This time they made their mind to express their love. Both after the long time were walking on the same lane. They were heading towards the point where they had their first meet. When Burhan was to call her, something unfortunate happened. Saboora’s relative came and they took her with them without knowing they are making her happy day into tragedy. Saboora’s eyes moved towards Burhan signaling him to wait. Burhan waited there, but Saboor never came. He is still waiting for her, but Saboor is yet to pierce the dark clouds.

Some of my friends threaten me,
To tell me some of mine memories,
A ray of hope they brought for me,
To brighten my stars of fate,
Even your memory is still alive,
We will live by the same,
Will meet you in heaven after death,
  For eyes will ask God of your wrath. (MADNI)
