•• جمعني به القدر قبل أيام عقب ثلاثة عقود.. كانت دنياه كداً كداً، عاشها تحت خط «الفقر» كدحاً كدحاً.. لم تمنعه «حالة العدم» من إضافة «لمسة فرح» على حياته.. حين التقيته قبل أيام وقد أصبح في سعة من المال والمُتع الدنيوية؛ رأيته يطلق لسانه وكأنه يحرض الرضيع على أمه.. نفسه أصيحت خبيثة مثل الوحل؛ ينتقد كل شيء، ويتحدث عن كل شيء.
•• في دنيانا قديماً وحديثاً؛ هناك فينا من هو في دوامة نفس مرتعشة لا يبتعد عنه «الفقر» إلا أمتاراً، ولكن رائحة التقوى تفوح من عمق عَوَزِه.. يراوغ ألم الحياة ومتاعبها باللجوء إلى خالقه سبحانه.. وحين فاح غِناه بنى قصوراً على رقاب الأزاهير، فغرق في متاع الحياة.. لم يعيَ كيف يفرد قلبه إلى السماء؛ فصارت روحه الإيمانية نائمة لا يستطيع إيقاظها من سباتها.
•• من يعش لحظات خدر بعد إنعام الله عليه؛ فقد وقَّع عقد احتكار مع موجات الحياة المبهمة.. ومن يفضل الاستمرار في حياة الكِبر على الناس، والكبرياء على النعمة؛ فمحصلته النهائية التعاسة المخجلة في رحلة حياة لا تنتهي.. ومن لا تجبره نفسه على تغيير نظرته السلبية للحياة؛ فسيعيش حياة حارقة ينتهي به الحال إلى اللا شيء.. فالموت والقدر يأتيان فجأة كلمح البصر.
•• هؤلاء هم الذين تتقاذفهم الرياح الهوجاء في محيط الحياة.. يرون طلقات الرصاص تنطلق من الألسنة صوبهم، ولكن أعينهم الواسعة لا ترى إلا الضِفاف النائية.. وصلوا للشيخوخة وما زالوا يبحثون عن مقعد حياة.. هؤلاء كالقهوة الصايدة عند أهل البادية؛ حين تدنسها حشرات البَّر؛ تصبح كريهة لا رغبة لها.. أما عندما كانت طاهرة محضَّرة بتركيز عالٍ ونهكة قوية؛ فطعمها حلو لذة للشاربين.

•• Fate brought me together with him a few days ago after three decades.. His world was a struggle, lived below the line of "poverty" with relentless toil.. The "state of nothingness" did not prevent him from adding a "touch of joy" to his life.. When I met him a few days ago, having become wealthy and enjoying worldly pleasures; I saw him speaking freely as if he were inciting an infant against its mother.. His soul had become wicked like mud; he criticizes everything and talks about everything.
•• In our world, both past and present; there are those among us who are caught in a whirlwind of trembling souls, where "poverty" is only a few meters away, yet the scent of piety wafts from the depths of their need.. They dodge the pain and troubles of life by turning to their Creator, Blessed and Exalted.. And when his wealth flourished, he built palaces on the necks of flowers, drowning in the pleasures of life.. He did not realize how to extend his heart to the heavens; thus, his spiritual soul fell asleep, unable to awaken from its slumber.
•• Those who live moments of numbness after God's grace upon them; have signed a monopoly contract with the ambiguous waves of life.. And those who prefer to continue living in arrogance over people, and pride over blessings; their ultimate outcome is the shameful misery in a never-ending journey of life.. And those who do not force themselves to change their negative outlook on life; will live a burning life that ultimately leads them to nothingness.. For death and fate come suddenly like the blink of an eye.
•• These are the ones who are tossed about by the raging winds in the ocean of life.. They see bullets fired from tongues towards them, but their wide eyes see only distant shores.. They have reached old age and are still searching for a seat in life.. They are like the coffee brewed by the people of the desert; when it is tainted by the insects of the wild; it becomes unpleasant and undesirable.. However, when it was pure, prepared with high concentration and strong flavor; its taste is sweet and delightful for the drinkers.
