Khayal o Khawab hui hain muhabbatein kaisi
Lahuu may naach rahii hain yah wahashatein kaisi
Naa shab ko chand hi accha na na din ko Mehr accha
Yah hum pay beet rahi hain qayamatein kaisi
Woh saath tha tu khuda bhi tha Meharbaa’n kiya kiya

Azaab jinka tabasum, Sawaab jinki nigah’
Khinchi hui hain pas […]

I hate all these bikers who rush by you. Was off to pindi late evening today, just came out of this shop with my dad a few feet ahead … two idiotic pea-heads (anger all in all) rushed on their bike from right at GOD-KNOWS-WHAT-SPEED, seeing them coming straight into me at such high […]

I.
Be like the flowing river,
Silent in the night.
Be not afraid of the dark,
If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back.
If there are clouds in the sky,
Remember, clouds, like the river, are water,
So, gladly, reflect them too,
In your own tranquil depths.

It is quoted in Mishkat, Book of Ilm, Al-Fasl III, page 38 and Kanz-al-Ummal page 6 of 43. I have translated it […]

Atlast the issue that was causing ripples for almost six months in Islamabad; is near to closure. Closure with some tragic moments and funny ones too.
In past few months and now, I’ve written so much about the whole issue on Islamabad Metroblog that now I’m almost numb to write few things on my baby’s forehead.

when deep down south, in the land of Pure, people are dying. Death is not the separation of soul from body alone. Snatching of all the worldly ways of earning, your home, and all what you’ve earned in years and years within moments is Death too.
Devastation hits and kills … follow a simple path … a simple […]
