Homeless people around the world

Homeless, a very horror and hard word. Million of people living around the world without any shelter, they don't have a house where they can stay and call their own. 2 percent of world population are homeless. This is the biggest failure of Human community. Have you ever think how people survive during winter when temperature goes to below 0 degree, then again in summer when scorching Sun on your head and start burning your skin with high temperature above 40 degree Celsius and again in rainy season when clouds not let you go anywhere and start sparge water on you and around you. How those homeless survive during these times? I think a person who is living in a house can never imagine their life, but this is fact and million of people spending their life as homeless.

In 2005 United Nations Organisation had conducted a survey to count the number of homeless around the world and they found 100 million people who were homeless and doesn't have adequate shelter to live.

In 2015 Habitat for Humanity in their survey estimated 1600 million people living around the world without adequate shelter.

If we talk about the India, Approx 2 million people are homeless and Delhi itself have ground of 2.5 lack homeless people.

na tha kuch to khuda tha | نہ تھا کچھ تو خدا تھا | न था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था

na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hota duboya mujhko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
hua jab ghum se yu bebas, to ghum kya sar ke katne ka na hota agar juda tan se, to jaano par dhara hota
huyi muddat ke gaalib mar gaya par yaad aata hai wo har ek baat per kahna ke yu hota to kya hota
na tha kuch to khuda tha, kuch na hota to khuda hota duboya mujhko hone ne, na hota main to kya hota
نہ تھا کچھ تو خدا تھا, کچھ نہ ہوتا تو خدا ہوتا ڈبویا مجھکو ہونے نے, نہ ہوتا میں تو کیا ہوتا
ہوا جب گھوم سے یوں بےبس, تو گھوم کیا سر کے کاٹنے نہ ہوتا اگر جدا تن سے, تو جانو پر دہرا ہوتا
ہویی مدّت کے گالب مر گیا پر یاد آتا ہے وہ ہر ایک بات پر کہنا کے یوں ہوتا تو کیا ہوتا
نہ تھا کچھ تو خدا تھا, کچھ نہ ہوتا تو خدا ہوتا ڈبویا مجھکو ہونے نے, نہ ہوتا میں تو کیا ہوتا
न था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था, कुछ न होता तो ख़ुदा होता डुबोया मुझ को होने ने, न होता मैं तो क्या होता
हुआ जो ग़म से यूँ बेहिस तो ग़म क्या सर के कटने का न होता गर जुदा तन से तो जानूं पर धरा होता
हुई मुद्दत के ग़ालिब मर गया पर याद आता है वह हर एक बात पर यह कहना के यूँ होता तो क्या होता
न था कुछ तो ख़ुदा था, कुछ न होता तो ख़ुदा होता डुबोया मुझ को होने ने, न होता मैं तो क्या होता
