In praise of mothers..
A reader from Karachi, Ahsan Jan Allawala - a student at the SZABIST, has contributed this little piece on the Mother’s Day. He wanted me to post this here and I am most pleased to do so given his devotion to his “super Mom”.Â
“ MOTHER”
Today I wish all mothers` “A Happy Mother’s Day”
And would like to share my thoughts on this beautiful day
Â
This piece of text is dedicated only to my mom
Who did all my upbringing and in return should be crowned “Super Mom”
Â
Nothing in this world could replace that pearl
Which has been gifted to me so that my life could swirl
Â
I love her, I adore her, I honour and worship her
Her soothing voice and her polite words, always make me want to praise her
Â
Full of affection, full of joy
She always responded to my slightest cry
Â
Gentle and soft is she at all times
Would never give up until she sees some positive signs
Â
To me she’s an inspiration and a shining star
Without whom I’m nothing but a scentless flower
Â
She instilled boldness, she instilled success
All of which helps me counter all kinds of distress
Â
She’s a jewel within a jewel
Under whose shadow must I always dwell
Â
Words fail me in continuing it further
As this verse ends my note with a single word “Mother”






“…so that my life could swirl”
Is that inspired by your love of Merry-go-rounds, Ahsan, or is it milk-shakes?
BTW, wishing a happy mother’s day to both you and your Ma!
