Unforeseen Disaster, Unprecedented Suffering

In late July 2010, Pakistan northern region received heavy monsoonal rainfall which caused recorded flooding in the history. It claimed around 2000 human lives leaving millions homeless and submerging many hectares of fertile land (BBC, Oxfam, Alertnet, Wikipedia). Due to large devastating impact, the UN Secretary termed it ‘a slow-motion tsunami’. Likewise, a cloudburst hit Leh region in Jammu and Kashmir, India and killed 100 people. A large mudslide occurred in Zhoqu county, north western china and claimed 1500 lives which is very uncommon place for such event. Other himalyan countries like Nepal, Bhutan and downstream country Bangladesh also experienced floods.

बेहाल छ खबर नसोध

बेहाल छ खबर नसोध
कुल्चिएका रहर नसोध ।

मिलनको न्यानो आशमा
काटेका ति कहर नसोध ।

रात दिन यादमा तिम्रो
रोएका  ति प्रहर नसोध ।

बहुत पिँए रित्तियो सबै
बाँकी किन ? जहर नसोध ।

स्वार्थपूर्ण बस्ती भित्र छु म
पागल छ सारा शहर नसोध ।

टुसामा नै भाँचिएको छु म
आँशुको भेल नहर नसोध ।
