Cancer
Life has many twists and turns and can go up and down
For causing anyone to feel blue, cancer wears the crown
You are cruising through life with loved ones, happy as a lark
One-day the doctor finds in your X-ray a spot that is too dark
More tests and biopsies of the spot reveals carcinoma
You don’t hear anything else he says, as life dives into a coma
The cancer-victim could be a son, a husband, a father and a brother
Or she could be a daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother
All your dreams are suddenly shattered right before your eyes
It doesn’t affect just one person, it can change many lives
You had hopes to raise, educate and get your kids married off
Now you wonder how many of those dreams can be safely carried off
The doctor saying it is treatable is really not much comfort
The treatments is so harsh, just watching it is quite an effort
Despite a heavy heart, we try to maintain a smile
Because we have faith that we will beat it by a mile
It could be called punishment if crooks only got the cancer
Why do good people have to suffer with this, no one has the answer
Allah says in Quran-e-Majeed, he has devised the cure before any disease
It would have been nice if He made it known, to put our minds to ease
We can chalk it up to the mysteries of Allah’s hikmat
May a future Nobel-Laureate soon find a cure by Allah’s rehmat
Everyone does doa for a cancer victim, but Daiallah’s doa is the best
May he live healthy ta-qiyamat, he is all we have in times of our test
