Before one million comes one – “Maktub”
17 February 2009
There was one
who gave dignity to the dying
who brought hope to the living
There was one
who gave to a different degree
who proved with certainty
That before one million comes one.
There was one
who gave a handful and a smile
who brought rest for just a while
There was one
who did what was possible
who took small sacrifices & built a miracle
There was one,
now there are a million
There was one,
now there are a million
Coz when the horizon of a desert speaks of an ocean
A rain cloud is god sent, a raindrop is ecstasy
before one million comes one,
each similar to a different degree.
