Painting: Mustafa MonwarA story on the theme of eternal wait of a martyr's parents“Have you seen my son? Everyone in the village knew that Shaker Ali and Maryam Bibi had turned progressively insane, were not amenable to reason. But no one had the heart to relate the reality to Shaker Ali and Maryam Bibi. All day long, Shaker Ali would be in the fields, not his own, for he had never owned any. You wait and see.” The father raised his hands to the heavens at these words, loudly pronouncing the word ‘alhamdulillah’ (Allah be praised!).
