The old man a surprise survival of a heart attack,
sharing joys and happiness of his family,
when suddenly comes to know about a mis-happening,
in his lovely family,
his blocked arteries are contracted,
his blood pressure is increased even more,
he is mentally and physically shocked,
the ignorant loved ones do not know,
he is more closed to a second and fatal heart attack.
Why don't they let him know at once,
when the mis-happening takes place,
he still has courage to share it.
Why the loved ones are not benefited,
by his experiences of life,
starting from Allied Forces' nuclear attack on Japan,
problems of Korea and Vietnam,
and the issue of Cuba,
when world was close to a nuclear war.
Attack of western forces on Egypt for control of Suez Canal,
integration of Vietnam and Germany,
and,
disintegration of Soviet Union,
independence of Muslim states of central Asia.
India China war of early sixties,
and,
India Pakistan wars creating Bangla Desh.
He has seen how issues arise
and how the issues are resolved.
If there is a small issue in the family,
let him know at once,
he will suggest how the issue can be resolved
in a pleasant manner..
But you let him know when the issue is over
and resolved in an unpleasant manner.
Trust him.
Could you let him share all but well in time!

Are you serious about what you are telling? Hope you will seek medical assistance at the earliest and be back to normal health by the grace of God! ....My Sincere prayers!
First of all, so many thanks for your sincere prayers. Since 2008, after the heart attack, I am under treatment. In 2013 I resigned from the job. and in your words Often we watch, one's curse, into another's boon turned In Nature's grand design, how strange things are aligned! Having nothing else to do I started writing English poems in 2014. Though I had written a few poems earlier, too but I had been regularly writing Urdu poems since my boyhood, but then I paid full attention to English poetry. I am thankful to English poetry as it changed a religious man, a little extremist, into a loving liberal man. Friends like you helped me a lot to learn how to write an English poem. Though I am still learning but I think I am better now than what I was, both as man and as a poet. My muscles are weak and I cannot undergo in any type of operation, so I am living on medication. The positive thing is this that according to my doctor I am a stable patient. When I asked what does he mean by a stable patient, he told me I have only one disease and that is genetic, no sugar, no high blood pressure or anything like that. Thanks again I have taken much of your valuable time.
