Paragraph On A Sleepless Night
When a person passes a night without sleep, it is called a sleepless night. Normally no one wants it as sleep is a blessing to man. It’s a divine health-nourishing gift. It occurs in men and women for various reasons such as diseases, drug addiction, tension, etc. However, I have experienced a sleepless night. It was a fearful night. There was a cyclone on the 17th instant. It began to shower from the evening with occasional bursts of wind. About midnight, the cyclone burst in full fury. It seemed nature had gone mad. I was alone that day in my house. I had shut all the doors and windows of my room; still, I could hear the roar of blasts and crashes of falling trees. Even the doors and windows began to rattle as if by an earthquake. Deep darkness covered the environment. The realm of thunder together with flashes of lightning seized me with fright and dread. I felt helpless and began to pray to Allah to stop the affliction. Now and then there might be a state of the lull. But this was followed by blasts of greater force. Subsequently, it blew off the roofs of the houses, uprooted the trees and plants, and swept away the mutilated corrugated tins and broken branches of trees. People began to raise a hue and cry in the dead of night. These shouts and shrieks frightened me. I could not utter any sound in fear. When at last storm abated, it was the next morning. It was the bitterest experience of my life that will remain fresh in my memory for many years to come.
