Return of Childhood in Old age

Return of Childhood in Old age

 

Arka got up at three, Reba did not call me

I got up to pay answer call of nature

Went to see him in another room, not far

He got up, feeling uneasy face says so

Voluntarily got up the bedstead

And took him on my lap to caress

Reba, could not sleep at night well

Frequently every one hour  he  got up

And again fell asleep, again cry, why?

We do not understand his language, only

Understand his feelings and expressions

We do what he wants, we do no what others bar.

He can neither eat, drink, talk nor walk

We help in all his ways, a little buck.

Roshni, his elder sister helps him very much

She acts like his second mother.

Without Roshni, it would impossible

To take care of him properly.

She goes to dry his clothes on the roof

Brings them in midday, walking in hit.

Takes him on her lap every time we say

Gives all cares and affection of a mother

Changes wet clothes and feed him often

Shares all feelings and saves him then.

Tell us to take more care of her brother

Hope to continue through the life whole.

 

Why we forget the feelings and cares

Of our elders given without bars

Pervez Mussarraf, the president of Pakistan

Reared by a woman and called her as ammi

When they were in Naherwali haveli, in Delhi.

Being a president he did not forget his ammi

Gave 700 dollars to him during his last visit to India.

 

We, the males after marriage began to forget

What and how all the demands of us were met.

What’s parents meant, how they signify in life

How do they maintain us and subscribe.

Spoil health, forget self-cares, gives all energy

To bring up a child and make him/her beauty.

When a child cries at the time of dinner of mother

She does not and can not eat, gets up to take him/her care.

When goes to market lying lap, does ‘susu’

And wets the wearing of the father, no matter.

When a child cries with unknown troubles and pain

Parents forget all happiness and jump without a gain.

In case of a son, forgetting all the past behaves like a beast

Works and gossips with friends and do feast

Even at a time when  those parents cry lying bed

Do not get sometimes least care and sufficient food.

The father and mother teach the babies in childhood

But the children, mostly male children forget the good

Why this happen, who is responsible for this kind of act?

It is happening throughout the world and a true fact.

Please be sympathetic towards the parents and

Get happiness, benediction, property and  land.

All the belongings of the parents will be yours

My dear young fathers and sons take care old ones.

You will be happy and mirthful in life, it is sure

Help the distressed, women, needy and poor.

In return you are a blessed child of God

Always could be remained in healthy and good

It is not a myth, read and experience the saying

You could prove to be worth-while.

Ma – means creator of the whole world

Der – means the door of all gates to enter.

Mother is the word  which is like a magic

Cures you, consoles you in your tragic.

She is one who loves you only from heart

Because you are nothing but part of her blood

And flesh, who kept you in her abdomen

Made it ugly, and compelled to mutilate her vagina

Which no other will do to give birth a child in the arena

And the pangs of labor room, which is unbearable

Sometimes goes out of reach, and continues at a stretch.

The pains she feels to walk, and work after your birth

That only knows the mother except none.
