The Fading Light of Education

By Subi Sheikh

Gone are the days when books were our best friends,

Now, knowledge is just a click away; it all depends.

Education is fading in every corner,

And an educated person is left with no honour.

Dancing and media influencing have become a game,

Everyone chases them for money, glory, and fame.

Sense of humour has turned so cheap,

While respect, honour, love, and affection lie in a heap.

Language is losing its beauty and grace,

As leaders divide it, giving it a religious face.

But language is a bridge that connects hearts,

Embrace the new, and let unity starts.

Very few now keep education their first priority,

While others chase wealth to flaunt superiority.

No matter how much you earn or own,

Educate yourself to grow and be known.

Learn your religious values with clarity,

For they help a nation rise with morality.

Education is the greatest tool of all,

It shapes your soul and helps you stand tall.

Dear parents, you are blessed and wise,

With all the means to help your children rise.

Make them smart, strong, and kind,

Teach them faith and knowledge combined.

"Education is a tool of success"—someone once said it right,

For it makes you human, filling life with light.
