Today is the Sunday the 17th of May 2020 , the 23rd of Ramzan 1441H till the Sunset ( 7:10 pm , Karachi ) And this is my the Sunday Blog # 215 ( Two Hundred and Fifteen )
So today is the 23rd Fast ( roza) of Ramzan . I am sure you would be surprised that I wrote fast and roza in brackets . Because to my ears roza has two meanings the roza (Persian: روزه) as mentioned above , Fast and
The roza (Arabic: رَوْضَة, lit. 'Garden') as in roza- e - Rasool ( sallallahu alaihi wasallam ) the last and final resting place in Medina ...
Google and wiki research
Fasting in Islam (known as Sawm[1] (صَوْم) Arabic pronunciation: [Saum] or Siyam (صِيَام) Arabic pronunciation: [sˤijæːm], also commonly known as Rūzeh or Rōzah (Persian: روزه) in non-Arab Muslim countries, is the practice of abstaining, usually from food, drink, smoking, and sexual activity. During the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, Sawm is observed between dawn and nightfall when the evening adhan is sounded.[2]
Back to the so >>
So today is the 23rd Ramzan meaning that this is the last week of the Ramzan 1441 and 2020 .
Also if we had a 29 day Ramzan the next Sunday Blog will be on Eid day .
You know we have to be very careful in choosing the eid day this time . If we had Eid on Sunday there will be a strict lockdown in Karachi ☠️ and only the Black minority will be allowed the Eid Prayers and Congregations along the lyari river belt . With hand shakes and Eid hugs while the rest of the mega polis will be sleeping as a usual Sunday Morning or chatting on the social media with F and F around the globe from the comfort of their bed and sleeping suits . The city will wake up for Brunch in the Afternoon and do the tabarrah 😠 after watching the coverage of Social distancing and strict lockdown violations in Eid Congregations on Social media and the Media .
I will probably sleep at nine in the morning when the minority neighbors return from the Eid Congregations and ride on the battle stations Street view security cams to watch doors as the dhol Wala , the whistle Wala and the gutter Wala are left loose to collect the eidi , fitra and Zakat .
They usually go away watching my helpless face so i won't spoil the fun this Eid .
I Will probably wake up for lunch . It will definitely be a garm garm kachori less Eid so I will have the chicken lunch or some left overs take away from food panda 🐼
I am sure the foodpanda will be off on Eid Day Sunday so after the lunch and prayers 🛐 I will also enjoy the street view oh I almost forget if it is Sunday then I must be doing the Sunday Blog as well then I will be in bed most of the day even after waking up .
BUT , if GOD forbid the Eid fell on Monday as the moon is not Sighted on Saturday evening . Everybody will be up since fajr . Everybody will wear their best clothes . Some will rush to the methai shops and bakeries to fetch the garm garm kachori and other stuff for breakfasts . Halwa Puri is usually not available on Eid day at the stalls but you never know it will be the first and historic Monday Eid Day ...nothing can be predicted from this far away almost over a week or Eight days to be precise . Sop's will be surely relaxed for the delivery riders from all doh number US / lahori frenchise . As they say in British India ...Holi hai 😁
Here they say ....Eidi Saab 🤑
So now once again be very careful in choosing the Eid day this year ....
No hanky panky ...okay !
1:45 am Break
3:10 am Okay so very little time left and i don't think it would be fun to start a very new topic now so lets see what is there that we can just update from the last time Oh yes ....Coke studio has come up with a big Bang in their Atif goes to khori garden ....Special Series ....
Khori garden as you all know used to be a fun place where you could find some very interesting old things very cheap , like books , magazines , CDs ...etc etc ...Before the Google and internet ...Most Fashion designers used to get their inspirations from the old fashion magazines from around the world . Some might still do that ....

... Okay so now i should try to sleep a little ....Or Maybe i should continue and do this my the Sunday Blog # 215 ( Two Hundred and Fifteen ) until i fall asleep . Yes that would be better Don't you think ?
Okay this is very strange perhaps the strangest of them all . About a week or so ago we had a heat wave predicted and also a heat wave emergency declared by the city govts both under CM and over PM . But it was and it remained windy cool partly cloudy Sunny weather almost the same all week .
Now we had a new prediction for heat wave from the 17th - 22nd of May 2020
And believe me the weather outside right now is absolutely awesome cool breeze almost stormy 🌞 no idea what is going on in the met office
Is that an MQM code word or something ?
Anyways I will keep updating if I experienced any change in the super cool weather of Karachi ☠️
And talking of the dangerous ....the new dangerous is the US itself where the death count has just been updated by
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
90113 dead by Covid-19
Corona virus in the USA alone .
This could be false or fake news it could be just 113 Deaths we can never be sure . As far as i know nobody among the family and friends in the US , Canada and the UK have been reported dead by the Corona virus so far .
Anyways ,
Let us pray for all the jews and the Muslims dead in the US and Pakistan due to the Covid-19 Corona Virus 😷 Pandemic .
Amen 🙏
Also let us pray that moula Ali ( KAW) forgive and forget all the people of my city for the embarrassment few blacks have caused him this Friday . These Iranian goons have been the main source of the Covid-19 Corona virus in this country since the first case was disclosed and confirmed . And now a blatent disregard for the emergency Executive order and a ban on large gatherings even if it's for a religious purpose .
You know what this act of defiance of the strict lockdown has made me of two minds . I am facing dilemma to support which kindergarten of thought.
One are those who give up everything and cooperated with the Iranian govt and
The others who defied their own rules and agreed upon SOP’s .
Too be Continued....
2:19 pm Good Afternoon !
It is very hot in the sun but windy cool in the shades . I am not sweating in bed so I will lie here for few more minutes and do this my the Sunday Blog # 215 ( Two Hundred and Fifteen )
I have been made aware just now that the Iranian govt has already announced a seven days strict lockdown in Karachi for Eid Mubarak !
22nd to 27th of May 2020 . Regardless of the moon sighting . Perhaps we will have a saner version of interpretations of the Executive Order as the week progresses and the puppet leaders leave for their home villages and town .
This will be very tough Eid for them as everybody will be reachable even if they choose not to go home . For the first time in decades the Indian and Russian brothels and whorehouses of Dubai UAE and their services will be closed for them . Everybody rich and poor will be Surat sawal 🤑 rates will be higher for eidi and punctures . Opposition will be extra friendly with their voters giving away sweets , Rations and Eidi ....
This Corona Pandemic will bring a revolution before the next election
Anyways ,
Here is the first tweet of the day
Sun 23rd Ramzan 1441H
34°C
2:09 pm Good Morning !
Woke up half an hour ago with the sound of neighbor's Electric generators the cable guys are training in the neighborhood. Shutdown , circuit breaker , high voltage surges have been going on since Friday morning
Hot sun 🌞 windy
It is 3:00 pm and I have to get up and have a bath , clear the throat and nostrils of the mucus disturbing my fast .
And then pray with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
3:13 pm Break
5:06 pm Okay yes I have done the bath , cleared the mucus from the throat , prayed 🛐 and went to the market and back with a heavy load of Melon and Water melon for iftari let's hope they turn out sweet . Rangers were deployed in the market to maintain the order . Shops were half shutters down with an hour to go ...And then I walked in 😇
So anyways it was fun . From now on I will have to go to shop everyday no Holiday no vacation because the way things are looking we will have a very Hot 🔥 i mean Smart Eid Holidays .
I have made up my mind that if i did not get the kachori this Eid i will do home cooking and practice the making of balushahi no it's not bagel but you can still munch on it .

Okay there is the Asr azan
So here I take a break for prayer 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
5:37 pm Break
6:25 pm
More than half an hour left . It is time to pray 🤲
No no not the Namaz or Salaat 🛐 I have already done that and you know After Asr Prayers we cannot do the Sajda prostration it is prohibited so there can be no nafil prayer in this half hour before the iftar . So all we can do if we have nothing to do like frying the Pakora or making sharbat or tea or cutting the water melons . Should have bought that bigger one . It was just two kilograms more than the one i bought . Thank God the one I brought is not rotten yes it is a little whitish. Let's pray that it is Sweet 🤲
See when you have a ❤️ heart you find a passion to pray for 🙏 you don't just need hard luck to be praying all the time 😇
Okay the iftari time today for us non blacks , believers in God the All Mighty ALLAH Amen !
And that Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is his last Prophet and Messenger . And Ali wali ullah Karam ullah wajho is the friend of both and a trusted Companion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam
So we can never block the bunder road and take out a procession on a strict lockdown day to embarrass him especially on the instructions of the Iranian regime .
Oh yes the iftari time
A minute or two after sunset which is 7: 10 pm
I'll do it after hearing start of azan at 7:12 pm just to be on the safe side after all we waited for about fifteen hours if that doesn't teach us discipline nothing can .
The prayer for opening the fast is
Allahhumma inni lakka sumtu wabey ka aamantu waalika tawakkaltu wa ala rizqayka aftartu .
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّی لَکَ صُمْتُ وَبِکَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْکَ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَعَلٰی رِزْقِکَ اَفْطَرْتُ.
Ten minutes left let's go and make the plate ....
Sun 24th Ramzan 1441H
34°C
8:42 pm Good Evening !
As you can see from my iftari plate the iftari was wholesome . It had a kabab roll , shahi tukra , pattisa , French fries , and water melon and milkshake .
We could have had something chicken as well most probably Chicken Pulao but as usual on Sundays there was no tap water . Thank God 🙏 there is ample water for my adopted mango plant on the kerb outside the gate .
I did not plant it but I was asked many times to water it . So now when I saw it drying in this heat , I started watering it regularly . I was so glad when I saw a new leaf last week . I thought there was no life left in it at all . So as you can see even when the next generation is taking away our life and liberties we are desperately trying to leave a better and Greener world for them . This Corona Pandemic has ruined three generations of planted neighbors in my neighborhood . One thing is dead sure I will not fight for their Rights and liberties . I may be part of their game but they certainly are not part of my game . Just Watching them waste their time is also very satisfying 😁 and relaxing ....quite entertaining . 🤠
And talking of entertainment . This week I watched two very not entertaining movies and I gave them both half ratings of five stars .
The first one Motorcycle Girl was a Pakistani almost a teledrama or telefilm with mostly the familer faces of television soaps and TV commercials . The lead role was of course done by the film star something Abro . Sohai I guess ...Sohai Ali Abro ..yes yes ...have seen her in some very repeated film trailers over the years . She was dancing in a movie song like a jumping Jones or Jack or something ....it was quite funny but now I don't remember the song lyrics or the movie will Google it later and share it .
It is crazy to think motorcycle is a good alternative to the mass Transit .
And
It is even more crazier to think that people of Pakistan will let their pretty little girls with beautiful soft skin and an endangered fair complexion go tangri tight in a mostly hot and humid weather . Driving a motorbike may look very sexy in movies and song videos but in reality its not . Riding a bike to school when your classmates and friends are going in air-conditioned rides is no fun at all .
Get a life dear ...a motorcycle is not a Pegasus !
The other movie I watched was hospital Romantic story Five Feet Apart also rated as five stars .
Stella the cronic cyctic fibrosis patient since childhood is hospitalized and has to follow a strict six feet distancing from all other patients in the hospital to stay alive , falls for a cute dying patient . She bends the rule and make it five feet apart
Very childish .
9:59 pm Break
11:55 pm it is very very quiet outside and inside . I was sleeping 😴 and siblings were praying . Then I woke up and prayed the Isha prayers 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
Finally there some sound inside somebody turned on the Saudi channel for live taravee prayers .
It must be the very last para 26 or 27 can't hear it
The volume is very low . Anyways since it is the 24th and they finish the khatam e Quran on the 27th then it must be the 27th para tonight . Can you believe they have the same moon date this Ramzan or the Saudi Tv is showing a delayed telecast the next day .
Anyways
Shukria Raheel Sharif !!
My neighborhood mosque usually end the khatam e Quran on the 29th so tonight it must be the 25th para
Ahh no shireeni this year .
Also no runny 👃 nose either . The weapons of Mass Destruction they were delibrately using or testing on me got worse for them how funny it is .
My dearly departed Papa ,May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲
Prepared us for the worse long ago . He used to lead the maghrib prayer in jamaat every Ramzan in our own veranda (lawn) . Usually it was just us but when we had iftar party the muqtadi followers increased and sometimes we even had two rows or ranks . This practice usually ended with Ramzan as it begin with Ramzan every year . This practice ended as Papa grew weak and developed many illnesses .
I preferred going to the mosque or pray alone so I did not pray to continue this practice and the elders were too distracted to lead the prayers . They were very easily angered over the neighbors throwing cricket balls during our prayers and then rushing in to collect it while we were praying . And later on the Builder mafia build a ghetto next to our praying place and blocked the fresh Air and made toilet with very poor plumbing . So everybody stopped praying there alone as well . The systematic dystopia I believe . Anyways ...
Aur phir Khuda ka CORONA Kya hua .......
That my dearly departed Ammi', may her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲
started reciting Quran regularly and after her me and my elder sister . And when we reach sajda-e-tilawat during the recitation we immediately spread the prayer mat and do the Sajda prostration right there .
But the mosques were locked and the sound of regular prayers , Juma Mubarak prayers and the Quran recital in the Taravee prayers Stopped .
Wallahu Alaam bis Sawab .
والله أعلمُ بالـصـواب
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
1:06 am Break
2:59 am it is Monday morning and the date is 18th May 2020 , 24th Ramzan 1441H
Weather is quite nice and here comes the drummer for waking up in Sehri .
I think this one is different from the hand drummers who comes to wake up for taravee before Isha prayer or with Isha Azan and sometimes before iftari . I have been pondering since Isha Azan when they suddenly started beating the drums ( dhol) and ringing the doorbell . Why today ? They come every evening .... And then I realized just now that there is no logical explanation . Because my last week would have started on Saturday not yesterday .
Okay the neighborhood kids have started playing night cricket sometimes on the street sometimes inside in the parking so the population of the Neighborhood is definitely going to increase
Nobody accepted the responsibility of Afghan maternity clinic attacks so I guess it was the act of Iranians to motivate the region for the youm e Ali processions . Did it work . I believe it did ...the blacks came out in large numbers everywhere . They are so predictable themselves and yet ...
Ok never mind .
The next Sunday Blog will be very interesting ... It will touch Eid either way . I love the twilight Sunday Blogs and talking of Eid should I bring the customery traditional stuff for cooking or should i change the Eid Day menu . There is very little chance of my siblings coming for Eid . And the rest I really don't care . Careem will be off so there is no Chance for me to visit them either . Wow ! What a my kind of Eid ❣️
Almost eighty percent of Karachi☠️ will be celebrating this Eid Mubarak just like me
Awesome 👍
Okay Sehri time

So all we can do if we have nothing to do like frying the Pakora or making sharbat or tea or cutting the water melons . Should have bought that bigger one . It was just two kilograms more than the one i bought . Thank God the one I brought is not rotten yes it is a little whitish. Let's pray that it is Sweet 🤲
See when you have a ❤️ heart you find a passion to pray for 🙏 you don't just need hard luck to be praying all the time 😇
Okay the iftari time today for us non blacks , believers in God the All Mighty ALLAH Amen !
And that Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam is his last Prophet and Messenger . And Ali wali ullah Karam ullah wajho is the friend of both and a trusted Companion of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam
So we can never block the bunder road and take out a procession on a strict lockdown day to embarrass him especially on the instructions of the Iranian regime .
Oh yes the iftari time
A minute or two after sunset which is 7: 10 pm
I'll do it after hearing start of azan at 7:12 pm just to be on the safe side after all we waited for about fifteen hours if that doesn't teach us discipline nothing can .
The prayer for opening the fast is
Allahhumma inni lakka sumtu wabey ka aamantu waalika tawakkaltu wa ala rizqayka aftartu .
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّی لَکَ صُمْتُ وَبِکَ اٰمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْکَ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَعَلٰی رِزْقِکَ اَفْطَرْتُ.
Ten minutes left let's go and make the plate ....
Sun 24th Ramzan 1441H
34°C
8:42 pm Good Evening !
We could have had something chicken as well most probably Chicken Pulao but as usual on Sundays there was no tap water . Thank God 🙏 there is ample water for my adopted mango plant on the kerb outside the gate .
And talking of entertainment . This week I watched two very not entertaining movies and I gave them both half ratings of five stars .
The first one Motorcycle Girl was a Pakistani almost a teledrama or telefilm with mostly the familer faces of television soaps and TV commercials . The lead role was of course done by the film star something Abro . Sohai I guess ...Sohai Ali Abro ..yes yes ...have seen her in some very repeated film trailers over the years . She was dancing in a movie song like a jumping Jones or Jack or something ....it was quite funny but now I don't remember the song lyrics or the movie will Google it later and share it .
It is crazy to think motorcycle is a good alternative to the mass Transit .
And
It is even more crazier to think that people of Pakistan will let their pretty little girls with beautiful soft skin and an endangered fair complexion go tangri tight in a mostly hot and humid weather . Driving a motorbike may look very sexy in movies and song videos but in reality its not . Riding a bike to school when your classmates and friends are going in air-conditioned rides is no fun at all .
Get a life dear ...a motorcycle is not a Pegasus !
The other movie I watched was hospital Romantic story Five Feet Apart also rated as five stars .
9:59 pm Break
11:55 pm it is very very quiet outside and inside . I was sleeping 😴 and siblings were praying . Then I woke up and prayed the Isha prayers 🛐 with a prayer for my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
Finally there some sound inside somebody turned on the Saudi channel for live taravee prayers .
It must be the very last para 26 or 27 can't hear it
The volume is very low . Anyways since it is the 24th and they finish the khatam e Quran on the 27th then it must be the 27th para tonight . Can you believe they have the same moon date this Ramzan or the Saudi Tv is showing a delayed telecast the next day .
Anyways
Shukria Raheel Sharif !!
My neighborhood mosque usually end the khatam e Quran on the 29th so tonight it must be the 25th para
Ahh no shireeni this year .
Also no runny 👃 nose either . The weapons of Mass Destruction they were delibrately using or testing on me got worse for them how funny it is .
My dearly departed Papa ,May his soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲
Prepared us for the worse long ago . He used to lead the maghrib prayer in jamaat every Ramzan in our own veranda (lawn) . Usually it was just us but when we had iftar party the muqtadi followers increased and sometimes we even had two rows or ranks . This practice usually ended with Ramzan as it begin with Ramzan every year . This practice ended as Papa grew weak and developed many illnesses .
I preferred going to the mosque or pray alone so I did not pray to continue this practice and the elders were too distracted to lead the prayers . They were very easily angered over the neighbors throwing cricket balls during our prayers and then rushing in to collect it while we were praying . And later on the Builder mafia build a ghetto next to our praying place and blocked the fresh Air and made toilet with very poor plumbing . So everybody stopped praying there alone as well . The systematic dystopia I believe . Anyways ...
Aur phir Khuda ka CORONA Kya hua .......
That my dearly departed Ammi', may her soul rest in peace in jannah Amen 🤲
started reciting Quran regularly and after her me and my elder sister . And when we reach sajda-e-tilawat during the recitation we immediately spread the prayer mat and do the Sajda prostration right there .
But the mosques were locked and the sound of regular prayers , Juma Mubarak prayers and the Quran recital in the Taravee prayers Stopped .
Wallahu Alaam bis Sawab .
والله أعلمُ بالـصـواب
May the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah have mercy on my dearly departed parents Papa and Ammi and may they be blessed by the dear merciful Lord All Mighty Allah and Their Souls may rest in peace in heaven. Amen!
Puisse le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah avoir pitié de mes chers parents papa et Ammi et qu'ils soient bénis par le cher Seigneur miséricordieux Tout-Puissant Allah et leurs âmes puissent reposer en paix au paradis. Amen
1:06 am Break
2:59 am it is Monday morning and the date is 18th May 2020 , 24th Ramzan 1441H
Weather is quite nice and here comes the drummer for waking up in Sehri .
Okay the neighborhood kids have started playing night cricket sometimes on the street sometimes inside in the parking so the population of the Neighborhood is definitely going to increase
Nobody accepted the responsibility of Afghan maternity clinic attacks so I guess it was the act of Iranians to motivate the region for the youm e Ali processions . Did it work . I believe it did ...the blacks came out in large numbers everywhere . They are so predictable themselves and yet ...
The next Sunday Blog will be very interesting ... It will touch Eid either way . I love the twilight Sunday Blogs and talking of Eid should I bring the customery traditional stuff for cooking or should i change the Eid Day menu . There is very little chance of my siblings coming for Eid . And the rest I really don't care . Careem will be off so there is no Chance for me to visit them either . Wow ! What a my kind of Eid ❣️
Almost eighty percent of Karachi☠️ will be celebrating this Eid Mubarak just like me
Awesome 👍
Okay Sehri time
Astronomical Twilight

... Okay
Okay so the Corona death count for the USA is moving quickly towards the 91,000 dead
But in the past twenty four hours no Corona virus Pandemic death has been reported among the friends and family in the US , Canada or UK . Not even in Pakistan .
Still let us pray for all the Jews and Muslims who died of Covid-19 Corona virus Pandemic in the US and New York and were denied the fundamental Right of a decent burial ⚰️
God Bless America ⚔️
Okay this is it
Eid or no Eid
Until next Sunday , I leave this my the Sunday Blog #215 ( Two Hundred and Fifteen)
With one of my favorite ghazal of Suror Barabanki
And sung by my favorite PTV Eid show singer of all times I won't be surprised if I had shared this one before no I am not checking the list right now . Just enjoy it and if you are too depressed because of the Covid-19 Corona virus Pandemic then just listen and remember the good old days when there used to be death and sadness even without the covid-19 Corona Virus 😷 Pandemic and the President Melinda Gates Foundation
All the Best
Allah Hafiz !
To Kya Yeh Tai Hai Ke Ab Umr Bhar Nahin Milna
Chalo Zamaane Ki Khaatir Yeh Jabr Bhi Seh Lein
Ke Ab Kabhi Jo Mile Toot Kar Nahin Milna
To Phir Yeh Umr Bhi Kyon Tum Se Gar Nahin Milna
Rah-E-Wafa Ke Musaafir Ko Kaun Samjhaaey
Ke Iss Safar Mein Koi Hum-Safar Nahin Milna
To Phir Yeh Umr Bhi Kyon Tum Se Gar Nahin Milna
Juda To Jab Bhi Huwe Dil Ko Yun Laga Jaise
Ke Ab Gaye To Kabhi Laut Kar Nahin Milna
To Phir Yeh Umr Bhi Kyon Tum Se Gar Nahin Milna
سُرُور بارہ بنکوی
تو کیا یہ طے ہے، کہ اب عمر بھرنہیں ملنا
تو پھر یہ عمربھی کیوں، تم سے گرنہیں ملنا
یہ کون چُپکے سے تنہائیوں میں کہتا ہے
تِرے بغیر سُکوں عُمْر بھر نہیں ملنا
چلو زمانے کی خاطر یہ جبْر بھی سہہ لیں
کہ اب مِلے تو کبھی ٹوٹ کر نہیں ملنا
رہِ وفا کے مُسافر کو کون سمجھائے
کہ اِس سفر میں کوئی ہمسفرنہیں ملنا
جُدا تو جب بھی ہوئے دِل کو یوں لگا جیسے
کہ اب گئے تو کبھی لوٹ کر نہیں ملنا
سُرُور بارہ بنکوی
