Easy Installments
Some time back Pakistan Television played “Bakra Kiston Par” a stage show that received a big applause. Bakra Kiston Par= Goat on installments. These plays project good and bad happenings that have taken place in the community. They keep us engaged by serving songs and sceneries yet revolving around the main message which is taken seriously by some and some of us let it go over the head.
For a long time well wishers (including some known politicians) in Pakistan, have been reminding us – time and again; to cut down on food menus for marriage parties. Though Money is No Problem for the well-to-do families, it always hurt people in the middle and third stage. Some have opted for early retirement from job to get money in lump sum to marry a daughter or son; some sold out their jewelry while some sold or pledged their property to invite guests at a better marriage hall and serve good palatable food. We have two faces, in all matters; one “YES we support the instructions laid out by administration and “NO” by looking out for invitation in a well set hall with different meals and desserts. We manipulate and find some ways to defy the “strict” “instructions” yet look obeying them:
§ Send meals to the girl’s house to serve their guests at their house and come to boy’s for solemnization and have a cup of tea.
§ Or divide guests in two. serve two dishes and a dessert and fruit to those who came with girl send them off and later throw another “wow” party to those on boy’s side; with BBQ’s plus couple of other dishes and drinks.
§ Extra over expense: You can omit music; music with dance, lights beyond need.
Restrictions imposed or self-adopted are good for people in countries where we see rich and poor apart. Let us take this a Will of God to see how rich facilitate their poor brothers and for the poor whether they are happy with Contentment. We should encourage those who cannot serve assorted meals and, at a rented hall; so that they do not have to undergo undue burden.
Catering on Installments
I have heard of some caterers offer to help those who could not set aside enough money to meet with catering expense for their beloved daughter or son’s marriage. But there is some thing on our own part to do. When we are blessed with children, we start thinking of their raising well, giving education, marrying them all of which need money but we, for reasons, have been unable to think and put in practice creating a Delayed Expense category. We should remain within resources and not expand on our avoidable needs. To borrow money to be repaid in monthly installments makes us suffer each month while our monetary needs increase to meet additional requirements with growing children. Avoid this cause of frustration, blood pressure and other sufferings in day to day life. We have to take this “Saving” bitter pill to keep painless future and uproot the cause of pain. Care is better than cure.
Saving: I remember a call given by a country’s administration chief to the public to donate a penny a person that will buy a Tank.
I will tell you my own stories of borrowing money:
I was a new employee in an organization. Our religious festival approached. People needed more money to celebrate and make children happy. My colleagues took advance from salaries. When I approached the director, Malik Sharif, he advised me not to dent my salary and avoid upsetting household monthly budget that may take longer to recover. I did not take advance and adjusted extra monetary needs in our rest-of-the-month expenses. My thanks to Mr. Malik.
My wife and I approached a relative (in a position to lend money) for a small size loan. Before the head of family (the earning person) could say anything; his wife (also my relative) asked “can you will pay back.

Urdu ashiar beginning with Z ز
Zaroorat say ziada mehbani ho gaee hai
To goa khatam kia sari kahani ho gaee hai
Dararain bar rahin hein qurbaton mein rafta rafta
Hamari dosti sha-id purani ho gaee hai
Bina puchay mujhey phool bhajwaen hein us-ney
Usay meri tarf say badgumani ho gaee hai
Bahut darbarion men ghir ga-ein hein zille-Ilahi
So ab mashkook ujki hukam-rani ho gaee hai
Wo sab se ziada zarf ka charcha karey gi
Wo larki jo achanak khandani ho gaee hai
Kamal-e zarf-e giria ki sanad hasil thi ji ko
Suna hai ab wo pathar aankh pani ho gaee hai
Usay mujh say shika-et thi mujhey usay gila tha
Zara si baat barh kar daastan ho gaee hai
Mohabbat Mir o Ghalib tak to lafani thi Roohi
Magar ye ham tak aatay aatay fani ho gaee hai
Zamaney ke sawalon ko mein hans kar taal deta hoon
Magar nami aankhon ki kehti hai,mujhey tum yaad aatey
Zameen sey kaon utha-ta sookhey patton ko
Hawa ki baat na karma,hawa to paghal hei

Ye kia jageh hai dosto, ye kaun sa dyaar hai
hadd-e-nigah tak jahan gubar hi gubar hai
ye kis maqam par hayat mujh to le ke aa-gaei
na bas pe yahan, na gam pe ikhtiar hai
tamam umar ke hisaab mangti hai zindgi
ye mera dil kehay to kia, ye khud se sharamsaar hai
bula raha kaon mujh ko chilmano ki us tarf
meray liay bhi kia koi udaas begarar hai
Yoon zidgi ki rah mein takra gia koee
Ik roshni andheron mein bikhra gia koee
Wo haadsa wo pehli mulaqaat kia kahoon
Kitni ajeeb thi wo soorat-e halaat kia kaoon
Wo qehr wo gazab wo jafa mujh ko yaad hai
Wo uski be-rukhi ki ada much ko yaad hai
Mit-ta nahin hai zehan say yoon chha gia koee
Pehlay mujhey wo dekh ke barham si ho gaee
Phir apnay hi haseen khyalon mein kho gaee
Be-chargi pe meri usay rehm aa gia
Sha-id meray tarapnay ka andaaz bha gia
Sansoon say bhi qareeb meray aa gia koee
Yun us nay piar say meri bahon ko chhu lia
Ik pal mein dil pe kaisi qiamat guzar gaee
Rag rag mein uskay husn ki khushboo bikhar gaee
Zulfon meray shanon pe lehra gia koee
An us dil-e tabah ki halat no poochiay
Be-naam arzoo ki lazzat no poochiay
Ik ajnabi tha ruh ka arman ban gia
Ik haadsah than piar ka unwan ban gia
Manzil ka raasta mujhay dikhla gia koee
Ye Batain jhoti batain hein ye logon ne phelaeen hein
Tum Insha-ji ka naam na lo kia Insha-ji sodaee hein
Hein lakhon rog zamaney mein kion ishq hai ruswa bechara
Hein aur bhi wajhein vehshat ki insaan ko rakhti dukhiara
wo bekal bekal rehta hai jis ne preet mein dil hara
varna shaam se subhe tak yoon kon phiray hai awara
gar ishq kia tab kya hai keon shaad nahin abaad nahin
jo jaan liay tal na sakay ye aisi bhi uftaad nahin
ye baat to tum bhi mano gay wo Qais nahin Firhad nahin
kya ishq ka daru mushkil hai, kia wasal kay nuskhay yaad nahin
ham say kaho ham karten hein, kia Insha ko samjhana hai
us larki se bhi keh lein gay, go ye aur zamana hai
ya chorain ya takmeel karein, ye ishq ye ya afsana hain
ye kaisa gorakh dhanda hai, ye kaisa tana bana hai
ye qaid sikha deti hai adaab-e-mohabbat
pinchrey men prindey bhi shararat nahi karte

Ujaley apni aankhon ke hamarey saath rehno do

Us shakhs ko bicharnay ka saliqa bhi nahi Faraz
jaatay huay apnay aap ko meray paas chhor gia
Usay kehna palkon pen a tankay khawb ki jhalar
Samandar ke kinaray ghar bana kar kuch nahin milta
Usney bheja hai mujhey meri mohabbat ka khiraaj
Jabaja khat mein sitarey se nazar aatay hein

Taza hawa ke shauq mein aye saaknan-e shehr
Itney na dar banana ke dewar gir parey
Teer kha ke jo dekha kameen gha ki tarf
Apney hi doston se mulakaat ho geiy
Teri berukhi ne chheen leen hein shararten meri
og smjhte hein, men sudhar gia hoon
Tha zam jinhein wo darya bhi tujhi mein dhoobay
To ke sehra nazar ata tha, samandar nikla
Thakey harey parindon ne mujhko naseehat ki
Shaam dhal ja-ay to Mohsin tum bhi ghar jaya karo
Tu kisi shaksh ki qaddo-qamat pe na ja
Jitna uncha pairh tha utna ghana sya na tha
Tujh se milkar rona tha, bahut rona tha
Tingi-ay waqt-i-mulaqaat ne ronay na dia
Tere aane ka dhoka sa raha hai
Dia sa raat bhar jalta raha hai
Ajab hai raat se ankhon ka aalam
Ye daria raat bhar charta raha hai
Suna raat bhar barsa hai badal
Magar wo shehr jo pyasa raha hai
Wo koi dost tha achhe dinon ka
Jo pichhli raat se yaad aa raha hai
Kisay dhoondo gay in galion mein Nasir
Chalo ab ghar chalo din dhal raha hai
Tujh ko ma’loom nahin tunjh ko bhala kia maloom
Teray chehray ke ye saada say naqoosh
Meray takhayyal ko kia rang ata kartay hein
Tujh ko ma’loom nahin --------
Teri zulfen teri aankhen teray aariz teray hoont
Kaisi anjaan maasoom si khata kartay hein
Tujh ko ma’loom nahin -------
Khilwat-i-bazam ho khilwat-i-tanhaaee
Tera paikar meri nazron mein ubhar aata hai
Koi saath ho koi fikr ho koi mahaul
Mujh ko har simt tera husn nazar aata hai
Chalte chalet jo qadam aap thakh jaatain hain
Sochta hoon kahin tu ne pukara to nahin
Gum si ho jati hain nazaren to khyal aata hai
Is min pinhan teri aankhon ko ishara to nahin
Tujh ko ma’loom -------
Dhoop mein saya bhi hota hai gurezan jis dam
Teri zulfain meray shaanon pe bikhar jati hein
Takh ke jab sar kisi pathar pe tika deta hoon
Teri bahain meri garden mein utar aati hein
Tujh ko ma’loom -----
Aankh lagti hai to dil ko gaman hota hai
Sar-i-baaleen koi betha hai baray piyar ke saath
Meray bikhray huay uljhay huay balon mein koee
Ungalian phairta hai baray piyar ke saath
Mein samjhta hoon bhi aga is ko mohabbat ka janoon
Tujh mo is ishq-i-janoon khaiz se nisbat kia hai

Parvaaz hai donon ki isi aik jahan mein
Kargas ka jahan au hai shaheen ka jahan aur
Phir dekh lia usne sharat ki nazar se
naseh ko bulao mera emaan sambhalo
Phir wohi zakm ubhar a-ay hein jo bhar ga-ay they
Aaj boseedah say khuch khat jo rasalon mein milay

Na koi khawb hamarey, na tabeerein hein
Ham to paani pe banaee hui tasveeren hain
Nihan honey se dartey hein ayan honey se dartey hein
Brabar chal rahen hein karwan honey se dartey hein
Gulon mein khawr ki fitrat chali a-ee hai chupkey se
Biaban bhi tabhi to gulsitan honey se dartey hein
Kuchal deti hei har hasrat hamari be-rehm dunya
Dil-e-masoom ke armaan jawan honey se dartey hein
Haqiqat ko biyan karney se pehley aaj-kal Sajid
Zaban waley bhi aksar be-zubani se dartey hein
Ham to paani pe banaee hui tasveeren hain
Nihan honey se dartey hein ayan honey se dartey hein

Mein phool tha, who mujhe rakh ke bhool gia
tamam umr meri, guzri usi ki kitab mein
Mein ne bachpan mein majnun pe Asad
Sang uthaya tha ke sar yaad aya
Mein jab bhi chooney ussay haath bharata hoon Kabeer
Wo mere saamnay rangon mein bikhar jata hai
Mein such boloon phir bhi haar jaon gi
Wo jhoot bolay ga la’jawab kar dayga
Mohabbat bandgi hai, is mein tan ka qurb mat mango
Ke jis ko chhu liya ja-ey, usko puja nehin kartey
Mohabbat se, inayat se, wafa se chot lagti hai
Bikharta phool hoon mujh ko hawa se chot lagti hai
Muddaton tak na-murad-Aagehi tha aadmi
Tap gia jab ishq ki garmi se, insane ho gia
Mein khyal hoon kisi aur ka, mujhe sochita koi aur hai
Sare aina mera aks hai, pase aina koi aur hai
Mein kisi ke dast-e talab hoon to kisi key harf-e dua mein hoon
Mein naseeb hoon kisi aur ka, mujhe mangta koi aur hai
Kabi laut a-ay to poochna, nahin dekhna usay gaur se
Jisay raaste mein khabar hui ke ye raasta koi aur he
Tujhe dushmanon ki khabar na thi, mujhe doston ka pata na tha
Teri dastan koi aur hai, mera vaqia koi aur hai
Main tum ko khat mein gulam bhejoon
Ke apney sarey azaab bhejoon
Tarp rahi hein jo teri khatir
Mein in nigahon ke khawb bhejoon
Jo lamha lamha guzr rehein hein
Mein in dino ka hisaab bhejoon
Jo terey jane ke baad pa-e hein
Mein uj dukhon ka hisaab bhejoon
Faqt muhabbat ka lafz likh kar
Mein ik khushi ka saraab bhejoon
Mala-im garm samjhotay ki chadar
Ye chadar mein ne barson mein buni hai
Kahin sach ka gul-boota nahin hai
Kahin bhi jhoot ka tinka nahin hai
Is mein main bhi tan dhaanp loongi
Isi mein tum bhi asoodha raho gay
-----No khush hon-gay na puz-mazda----
Mein apney ghar mein hi ajnabi ho gia hoon aa-kar
Mujhey yahan dekh ke keri rooh dar gayee hai
Sehm ke sab aarzooein konon mein ja chhupi hein
Lauhein bujha deen chehron ki hasraton ne
Muradein dehleez pe sar rakh ke mar gaee hein
Mein kis watan ki talash mein nikla tha ghar se
Ke apney ghar mein hi ajnabi ho gia hoon aa-kar
tamam umr meri, guzri usi ki kitab mein
Mein ne bachpan mein majnun pe Asad
Sang uthaya tha ke sar yaad aya

Kabhi kitabon mein phool rakhna
kabhi darakhton pe naam likhna
Hamein bhi yaad hei aaj tak vo
nazar sey harf-e salaam likhna
Vo chaand chehray vo behki baatein
sulagtay din they sulagti raatein
Vo chhotay chhota kagzon par
muhabbaton ke paigham likhna
Ghulab chehron say dil lagana
vo chupkay chupkay nazar milana
Vo aarzu-oon ke khawb bun-na
vo qissa-e na-tamam likhna
Maray nagar ki haeen fizao
jo unka kahin nishan pao
To poochhna ke kahan basay wo
kahan hai unka qayam likhna
Gayee ruton mein Rubab Apna
Bas ek ye-hi to mashghala tha
kisi kay chehray to subha lihna
kisi ki zulfon ko shaam likhna
Kahan gayei wo log jo ham se piar kia kartay thay
Barson baad bhi pal bhar mein pehchan lia kartay thay
Aik tarf har saans ruki thi, sharm ke maray aanch jhuki thi
Ai tarf ham be-sabri kay ghoont pia kartay thay
Pal do pal ka khail racha kar chor ga-ay we ham ko rota
Ye kia jiwan hai chup reh kar dil say kar lia samjhota
Maazi kay khamosh khandar mein yaadon ki dewaar khari hai
Ye bhi ik din gir ja-ay gi, unko kia fiqr parhi hai
Jin kay haathon par ham apna naam likha kartay thay
Kahin nazar na lagay uskay dast-o-bazoo ko
Ye log mera zakhm-i-jigar keon dekhtay hein
Kanton se guzr kar chhoo aati hai phoolon ko
Titli ke paron ko kabhi chhiltey nahin dekha
Khat ke purzey ura raha tha
Hawaon ka rukh bata raha tha
Ik din ik ajnabi ko
Meri kahani suna raha tha
Khat Likh Raha Hoon Ahd-E-Mohabbat Ko Tod Ke
Kagaz Pe Aansowon Kii Jagah Chod Chod Ke.
Too Fikr Mand Kyun Hai Mere Dil Ko Tod Ke
Mein Khud Hi Jaa Raha Hoon Tera Shaher Chod Ke .
Kal Raath Likhne Baitha Ghazal Tere Naam Kii
Alfaaz Saamne Thay, Khaday Haath Jor Ke.
Jis Mein Tumhara Aks-E-Haseen, Dekhta Tha Mein
Tumne Toh Rakhdiya, Wohi Aaina Tor Ke .

Khawbon ka kia hai Khawb to muhtaj hein ta’beeron kay
Apni ankhon ko na Khawbon kay hawale karna
Khud ko chuntey huey din sara guzar jata hai Faraz
Phir hawa shaam ki chalti hai to bikhar jata hun mein
Khushbu kay jaziron say sitaton ki haddon tak
Is shehr mein sub-kuch hai, bas teri kami hai
Kis ko khush aey ga sahra ka safar meray baad
Kaon rakhay ga teri khair-o-khabar meray baad
Ra-e-gan ho gaee mein khawb mein chaltay chaltay
Kia khulay ga kisi tabeer ka dar meray baad
Ghar no hoga too mein ho jaoon gi barbad, magar
Yunhi abaad rehay ga mera ghar meray baad
Kitni dewaron kay sa-ey haath phelatay rahey
Ishq ne hum ko magar be-khanman rehney dia
Koee pochhay ga to keh deingay, unsay bhejhay hein
Wagarna phool ham ne khud apney liay khariday hein
Kuch ishq tha kuch majburi thi, so men ne jewan haar dia
men kaisa zinda aadmi tha, ik shakhs ne mujh ko maar dia
ye saja sajaya ghar saqi meri zaat nahi mera haal nahi
ai kash kabhi tum jas sako jo us sukh ne azzar dia
men khuli hui ik sachaee, mujhe janane wale jante hein
vo ishq bahut mushkil tha magar assan na tha yun jeena bhi
us ishq ne zindha rehne ke muje zarf dia pindar dia

Paoon katey huay hein magar chal rehay hein log

Chup rehtey hein to wo poochtey hein naraaz lagtey ho
Apney dil ki baat unhein kaisey samjaen
Izhar karte hein to wo kehtey hein mazaq kartey ho
Haath chhotay bhi to rishtay nahin choota kartay
Waqt ki shaakh say lamhay nahin tora kartay
Jis kay mathay pay ho silvat nigahon mein shikn ho
Aisi tasveer kay tukray nahim jora kartay
Shehd jeenay ka mila karta hai thora thora
Janay walon kay liay dil nahin tora kartay
Lag kay sahil say jo behta hai usay behnay do
Aisay darya ka kabhi rukh nahin mora targa
Har koi phirta hai hathalee pe sehra rakhay
Kis ko serab karey kis ko pyasa rakhay
Umar bhar koi nabhata ta’aluq itna
ae meri jan ke dushman tujhe Allah rakhay
Ham ko achha nahin lagta koi hamnam tera
Koi tujh sa ho to rakhay bhi naam tera

Dil hi dushman hei mukhalif ke gawahon ki tarah
Har tarf zeest ki rahon mein kari dhoop hai dost
Bas teri yaad ke sae hein panahon ki tarah
Jin ki khatir kabhi ilzaam uthaya tha Fakhir
Wo bhi paish ayen hein insaaf ke shahon ki tarah
(Sudharshan Fakhir)
Gaey dinon ka surag lekar kidhar se aya kidhar gia wo
Ajeeb manoos ajnabi tha mujhey to hairan kar gia wo
Wo maikadhay ko jaganay wala, wo raat ki need uranay wala
Ye aaj kia uskay ji mein a-ee ke shaam hotay hi ghar gia wo
Na ab wo yadoon ka charta darya, no fursaton ki udaas barkha
Yunhi zara si kask hai dil men jo zakham gehra tha bhar gia wo
Wo jis ke shanay pe haath rakh kar safar kia tha tu nay mansloon ka
Teri gali say na janey keon aaj sar jhuka ke guzar gia wo
Wo raat ka be-nava musafir, wo tera sha-ir wo tera Nasir
Teri gali tak to ham ne dekha, phir na janay kidhar gia wo

Meray khaton ke turkey talash karti thi
Bhula-e kon azzyat-prastian uski
Khushi ke shehr mein sadmey talash karti thi
Ajeeb mehr prasti thi uski fitrat mein
Shajar ke tootey pattey talash karti thi
Qyam karti thi mujh mein so’obton ki tarah
Udas rooh ke goshey talash karti thi
Tamam raat vo pardah hata ke chand ke saath
Jo khoey ga-ey they vo lamhey talash karti thi
Kuchh is liay bhi meray ghar se usko this wehshat
Yahan bhi apney piarey hi talash karti thi
Ghuma phira kar juda-ee ki baat karti thi
Hamesha hijr ke harbey talash karti thi
Dua-ein karti thi ujrey hu-ey mazaron par
Barey ajeeb saharey talash karti thi
Mujhey to aaj bataya hai baadlon ne Vasi
Vo laut aaney ke rustey talash karti thi
Gam baray aate hein qatil ki nigahon ki tarah
Tum chupa lo mujhe ae dost gunahon ki tarah
Apni nazron mein gunehgar no hote keonkar
Dil hi dushman hei mukhalif ke gawahon ki tarah
Har tarf zeest ki rahon mein kari dhoop hai dost
Bas teri yaad ke sae hein panahon ki tarah

Urdu ashiar beginning with D (Daal)
Daag hai mujh pe ishq ka, mera gunah bhi dekh
uski nigah bhi to dekh, jis ne ye gul khila dia
Daikhney mein seedhey saadey bholey bhaley hein
Ye hazrat kaon si basti key ya-Rab rehney waley hein
Dil ke a-eenay mein hai tasveer-i-yar
Jab zara garden jhukaee dekh lee
Dil ki basti purani dillhi hai
Jo bi guzra, usnay loota hai
Dil tha ik shola, magar beet ga-ey din vo Qateel
ab koredo na issay, rrakh men kia rakha hai
Dilon kay fasley bartay rahen gay
Jahan tak mashware baham na hongay
Dhoop mein niklo, ghataon mein naha kar dekho
Zindgi kia hai, kitabon ko hata kar dekho
Vo sitara hai chamaknay do usay ankhon mein
Kia zaroori hai usay jism bana kar dekho
Pathron ki bhi zaban hoti hai dil hotay hain
Apnay ghar kay dar-o-diwaar saja kar dekho
Faasla nazar ka dhoka bhi to ho sakta hai
Vo milay ya na-milay haath barah kar dekho
Dil ki basti ajeeb bati hai
lootnay walay ko tarasti hai
Ho qanayat jo zidgi ka asool
Tang-dasti farakh-dasti hai
Azil say dil hai jahan mein kamyaab
Phir bhi yay shay gazab ki sasti hai
Ham fana ho kay bhi fana na huay
Ne-hasti ik tarah ki hasti hai
Aankh ko kia nazar nahin aata?
Abar ki tarah say barasti hai

Chand masoom say patton ka lahoo hai Fakhir
Jisko mahboob kay haathoon ki hina kehtay hein
Chherti hein kabhi lab ko kabhi rukhsaron ko
Tum ne zulfon ko bahut sar pe chara rakha hai
Chhup ke usney jalaya tha mera khat
Raakh kaisay sarey shehr mein phail ga-ee
Chhoti si galat fehmi kar de gi juda hamko
Hallat na badlein ge maloom na tha ham ko
Rishton ki hamein itni pehchan na thi pehle
Kehney ko marasam to apney they bahut gehre
Ashkon ke siwa lekin khuch bhi na kila hamko
Uth-te huey qadmon mein zanjir si parh jati
Ehsas-i-nidamat se dehleez pe ghar jati
Ik bar muhabbat se wo daite jo sada hamko
Halaat na bdlein ge maloom na tha ham ko

Urdu ashiar beginning with B (Be)
Bana gulab to kaante chuba gia ik shakhs
hua charag to ghar hi jala gia ik shakhs
tamam rang mere aur sare khawb mere
fasana keh ke fasana bana gia ik shakhs
men kis hawa men uru kis fiza men lehraun
dukhon ke jaal her soo bicha gia ik shakhs
Barson ba'd mila vo to meray lab pe koi gila na tha
ussay meri chup ne rula dia, jissay guftagu pe kamal tha
Bay pardah nazar jo aayeen kal chand bibiyan
Akbar zameen main ghairt-e-qumi say gar giya
poocha jo un say aap ka parda wo kiya hoya
boleen kay wo to aqal pay mardon ki par giya
Bhari bazam men raaz ki baat keh di
bara be-adab hun saza chahta hun
Bus gay-ee hai meray ehsas mein ye kaisi khushbu
Koi khushbu mein lagaoon teri khushbu a-ay
Baat niklay gi to phir door talak ja-ay gi
Log be-waja udasi ka sabab phuchhain gay
Ye bhi puchhain gay ke tum itni pareshan keon ho
Choorion par bhi ka-ee tanz kassay ja-ein gay
Kaanptay hathoon par fiqray bhi kassay ja-ein gay
Log zalim hein har baat ka ta’na dein gay
Baton baton mein mera zikr bhi le a-ein gay
Chahey kuch bhi ho, sawalaat na karma unsay
Meray baray mein koi baat na karna unsay
WARNA, baat niklay gi to phir door talak ja-ay gi
Barson ke baad dekha ik shakhs dilruba sa
Ab zehn mein nahin hai par naam tha bhala sa
Abru kiche kiche se aankhein jhuki jhki se
Baatein ruki ruki si, lahja thaka thaka sa
Alfaaz thay ke jugnu avaaz kay safar mein
Ban ja-ay jangalon mein jis tarah raasta sa
Khabon mein khaab us kay yadon mein yaad us ki
Needon mein ghul gaya ho jaise ke rat-jaga sa
Pahale bhi log aa-ay kitane hi zidgi main
Vo har tarah se lekin auron se than juda sa
Agli mubabbaton ne vo naa-muradiyan din
Taza rafaqton se dil tha dara dara sa
Kuch ye kay muddaton se ham bhi nahin thay roye
Kuch zahar mein bujha tha adbaab ka dilaasa
Phir yun hua kay saavan aankhon mein aa basay thay
Phur yun hua ke jaisay dil bhi tha aabala saa
Ab sach kein to yaaro ham ko khabar nahin thi
Ban jaaygaa qayaamat ik vaqia zara sa
Tever thay berukhi kay andaaz doti ke
Vo ajnabi tha lekin lagta tha aashna sa
Ham dasht thay ke dariya ham zahar thay ke amrit
Na-haq tha zohm ham ko jab vo nahin tha pyasa
Ham neb hi us ko dekha kal shaam intefaqan
Apna bhi haal hai ab logo Faraz ka sa

Urdu ashiar beginning with A (Alif)
Abhi abhi jo chale gae mun mor ke rukh mor ke
Wo marey hi shehr ke log they, mere ghar se ghar tha mila hua
Aabla pa koi dasht mein aya hoga!
Warna aandhi me dya kis ne jalaya hoga!
Aankhon mein raha dil mein utar kar nahin dekha
Kashti kay musafir nay samandar nahin dekha
Ab men ration ki qitaron main nazar ata hun
apnay khaton se bicharney ki saza pata hun
Ab to ghabra kay wo kehtey hain ke mar jaen gay
Mar kay bhi chain na paya to kidher jaen gay
Abhi kamsun ho nadaan ho, kahin kho do gay dil mera
Tumharey hi liay rakha hai le laina jawan ho kar
Achhay lagtay hein ghar kay puranay bartan
Chhat tapakti hai to keechar nahin honay detay
Ailan-e-marg hua to us ne bhi kaha, Mohsin
achha hua, mar gia, aksar udaas rehta tha
Aisa nahin ke aadmi achha nahin hai wo
Haan, jaisa hamara khawb tha, waisa nahin hai wo
Ajeeb geeli lakrian hein ye rishte-daar
Door rehen to dhuan den, qureeb aein to jal jaein
Ajeeb shaksh hai naraaz ho ke hansta hai
Mein chahta hoon khafa ho to khafa hi lagay
Apne bhi khafa muj se begane bhi na-khush
Mein zehr-e-halahal ko kabhi meh na saka qand
Apney dhuen ko chhor gia aasman par
Bujhtey huay de-ay mein kitna gurur tha
Aankhon mein raha dil mein utar kar nahin dekha
Kashti kay musafir nay samandar nahin dekha
Aaj bazaar mein pa-bajolan chalo
Chash-me nam jan-shorida kafi nahin
Tohmat-i-ishq poshidah kafi nahin
Aaj bazaar mein ------
Dast-e-afshan chalo mast-o-raqsan chalo
Khaak bar sar chalo, khoon badamaan chalo
Rah takta hai sab shehr-i-janan chalo
Aaj bazaar ---------
Hakim-i-shehr bhi, majma-i-aam bhi
Teer-i-ilzam bhi, sang-i-dushnam bhi
Subh-i-nashaad bhi, rooz-i-nakaam bhi
Aaj bazaar -----
In ka dam-saaz apnay siwa kaon hai
Shehr-i-janan mein ab ba-safa kon hai
Dast-e-qatal kay sha-yan raha kon hai
Rakht-i-dil baandh lo dil-figaro chalo
Phir hameen qatal ho a-ain yaro chalo
Aaj bazaar mein pa-bajolan chalo
(Faiz Ahmad Faiz)
Aur sab bhool gae harfe zadaqat likhna
Reh gia kaam hamara hi bagawat likha
Laakh kehte rehein zulmat ko na zulmat likhna
Ham ne seekha hi nahin pyare be-ijazat likhna
No sila ki, na sita-ish ki tamanna ham ko
Haq mein logon ke hamari to hei aadit likha
Ham ham no bhool kar bhi shah ka qaseeda na likha
Sha-id aya isi khoobi ki badaulat likhna
Is se bharh kar meri tehseen bhala kia hogi
Parh ke n-khush hai mera sahib-i-sarvat likhna
Dehr ke gam se huva rabt to ham bhool ga-e
Sar-ve-qamat ki jawani to qaiamat likhna
Kuchh bhi kehte hein kehen shah ke masahib Jalib
Dhang rakhna yehi apna, isi soorat likhna
Akaylay ghar mein rehtay ho Kia deti hein diwarain?
Yahan to hansnay walon ko rula deti hain diwarain!
Inhein bhi apni tanhaeey jab ehsas hota hai
To gheri neend say much to jaga deti hai diwarain
Hawa kay zakhm seh kar barshon ki chot kha kar
Chhatton ko roznon ko aasra deti hein diwarain
Rahoon ghar mein to meray sar pa chadar taan deti hein
Safar pe jab nikalta hoon dua deti hein dewarain
Vo sari guftgu jo band kamron mein hoti hai
Mein jab bahir say aata hoon suna deti hein diwarain
Charhti utarti dhoop ki pehchaan hai in-ko
Abhi din kitna baqi hay bata deti hein diwarain
Allah Allah lutf kia saqi kay maikhanay mein hai
Jalwa-gar raaz-i do-alam uskay maikhane mein hai
Dehr mein kia jusju hai, kaabay men kiski talaash
Chashm-e baatin khol-lo, dil kay sanam khanay mein hai
Kaon janay kia tamasha hai kay sazon kay baqair
Ik hajhoom-i-nagmi dil kay nava khanay mein hai
Bethay bethay khud mujhay hota hai aksar yay guman
Nagma gar mutrib koi dil kay tarab khanay mein hai
Zindgi mein tujh ko Darshan mil nahin sakta kabhi
Wo sururay kaif jo murshid ke khum khanay mein hai
Apni aag ko zinda rakhna kitna mushkil hai
Pathar beech aeena rakhna kitna mushkal hai
Kitna asan hai tasveer bana auron ki
Khud ko pasay aeena rakhna kitna mushkil hai
Tum ne mandar dekhay hon-gay, ye mera aangan hai
Ik dia bhi jalta rakhna kitna mushkil hai
Chullu mein ho dard ka darya, dhiyan mein uskay hoont
Yoon bhi khud ko pyasa rakhna kitna mushkil hai

In memory of my wife Sarfraz Sarwar
khud ko chuntey huey din sara guzar jata hai 'Fraaz
phir hawa shaam ki chalti hai to bikhar jata hun mein
It has been difficult for me to forget you for a moment. Try to keep myself busy in office and at home. When I am alone at night I spread sheet of your memories over me and travel with you so long as the dark doesn't expose me.
Your loving Sarwar

Your loving Sarwar
Life
LIFE
Life is a state of living between birth and death and marriage is a sanctity; holiness of life and character. It’s a one-time show. Stage is already set. Play a good character so people remember you here and rewards await you hereafter.
Life starts long time before your see it – in the shape of a very small male sex cell (a seed) which fertilizes a women’s ova (egg) to make a baby. Going through a process of life start taking shapes, then a baby full of father and mother’s love show up in our new world.
In our daily life we see fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers are seeded in the soil. They take time to fertilize and then we see their growth pointing out of soil slowly, until they stand up strong to bear its produce.
Animals, birds, mammals, insects and underground, under water, wherever they are, they go through same natural process to come to life.
Here, i will be expressing my own feelings about human life. The Creater has numerous creature, He could send us in the lap of some one else. I am thankful to Him having blessed us with a very beautiful life.
We should therefore be thankful to:
God – the Power – the Creator – who chose our body and soul to live in human life in the world. We should obey Him, follow His instructions and Messages sent through His Messengers. Always seek His guidance in ALL matters and ask for forgiveness for wrongdoings; sooner the better and without shame; again and again; He listens and grants.
Our father and mother who infused in us their love and affection and stayed with us through thick and thin from lap to adulthood. They fed us, help us crawl, walk, talk; put us in school; tried to educate us so are able to spend a social life and be able to give them their grand children they start waiting from the day they marry their children. They preplan lot of celebration. You will observe their longing desire for your kids. They will give them love more than you. You are noble you will teach them how to become noble and respectable.
Life is fanciful, charming and respectful but not a bed of roses.
We are ignorant how our parents grew up and how they struggled to live a life. By our adulthood we have gone through some odds and evens that passed through. Somewhere we struggled ourselves and some time our parents and friends helped us. There are odds in the complex and diverse society that you have to tackle wisely. Your determination will strengthen you to overcome those. As we become more and more social and move around in the society, get education, we find world an endless source of beauty and joy.
Arranged Married life and society life:
It needs two to claps; two wings to fly; two wheels of a cart.
Sooner or later you have to marry so you have a place in society. Bachelors are not welcome in families get together; birthday or marriage parties. The most honorable kind of marriage is arranged marriage between two families in relation; or otherwise but both parents get their children in this sacred bond. God forbid, if there are some differences between the couple; parents can sit and sort out. There will lot of cousins on both sides to see the couple happy.
Dating ----destined ---- to a failed marriage:
If things go out of gear and there is likeliness between two odds; one sided or otherwise; it is almost difficult to judge each other for a life long partnership. Face is said to be index of mind but how about controlled facial outlook. The person who often frequently changes dates and venues and looks on sides haphazardly while talking and forgets the point under discussion is dodging and not at all sincere. You will also hear such words “my mother is ALMOST ready to go any day to meet with your parents; be patient for few more days; every thing will settle down”. He will give you ride in a borrowed car; a fancy taxi. Don’t go after these fake show-offs. If that person was so much rich, respectful and loved one of parents and liked by relatives, why he/she was not proposed for marriage. It is not true that “I do not like them, I don’t find any body among them to be my life partner”. These are not the essentials for the marriage. We should be honest to God, to ourselves. Try to escape before your are trapped.
An Urdu poetry verse: (excuse me for mistake in translation)
Vo parindah jissey parvaaz se fursat hi na thi
Ab tanha hai to dewaar pe a betha hai
(the bird who had not a free moment from his flight with other birds, is now left alone by all, has come back and is seen on “my house” wall)
Adulteration:
I believe all faiths have rejected “adulteration” be it in food products, in human relations or in measurement. There have been cases where an affair of a partner leaked out for a previous continuing affair or even having been married before: at that point you will hear such words “dear, I am sorry, I wanted to tell you several times but each time we were dragged away in sightseeing or tea-talks”. “That marriage was forced on me by my parents; she is illiterate, a village girl, cannot move in society. I was a girl who is educated and social”. That would be a blind turn; totally dark. Nobody would be able to remove odds. Who can put two swords in the same case!
Ask some one else, if I am correct. There are those who have a wife and children in their country, and “secretly” keep another wife in a third country and are living a happily here and there also.
We reject any adulteration in good stuff – isn’t it! How we compromise with adulteration in this pure relation in life. Pass on purity to siblings.
Some time the two flirting each and out of lust or fearing from a forced separation after a leak of their friendship, resort to a court marriage; with fake witnesses. Believe it or not they have disrespected themselves and downgraded their parents in relative and society; like they were poisoned to death by their own children. If you approach your parents asking for forgiveness and acceptance of your marriage; you cannot think of options with your wounded parents; they are died before their death and what dead man can do except to accept your proposal “with a hope for this to become a good arrangement”; “It would be as you can pull the dead man’s thumb, ink it and mark on the transfer of property form”.
It would have been advisable and advisable it is to bring your initial liking to the notice of your parents who would through their own sources get necessary information of each side to see if most of those findings are matching on both sides and arrange their marriage and save them going astray. Some odds and differences can be discussed and solved.
Take benefit of parents’ experience in life:
Our parents have gone through ups and down in life and gained experience. They are the best and nearest available guides to take advantage of. Talk to your mother, father about the problem you are confronted with or you foresee a hurdle. I am sure they will give you a better solution. Follow it. Don’t think (maybe; maybe not) about it’s being workable. A shaky step can mislead you and throw you at a distant place. Take it for sure, this is the first and foremost living source of good advice. Speak out to them your problem, your fears, whatever they are.
Society (Zamana “in urdu”) is also a good teacher: You learn a lot about living a good life in school where you meet with good and bad children. Their behaviors will show you different between the two. Teachers, who have dealt with students from complex communities, can also give an advice on social problems. When you are confused and unable to take a decision, society will roll you left and right to adjust yourself.

Status symbols of the day
Status is a “scale” of “social” standing; and not a scale of our own making.
1960’s:
Couple of friendly families were on an evening walk when someone put a question to my wife:
Q: Do you own a dog
A: No
The questioner lady said “don’t you know keeping a dog with is status-symbol of the day and if you walk her with you, your status would speak for itself”.
1980’s:
Another group under some complex were telling their children to be proud of their father being PhD / MSc; hen people ask "you are son of whom" tell me Mr. so and so, PhD or MSc. when people will know of your father’s status, they will respect you.
1940’s:
Days have gone when this feed was not injected and the communities composed of various sects shared their happiness and grief and elders and children were known and respected by each other. Children didn’t know much who is their relative and who is not. They were all children, uncles and cousins.
1990’s:
The generation which is now fading out has shattered the families golden web woven over a period of time and has seeded a sour plant to keep every body at distance. History will tell them they had fallen in trap of an inferiority complex and had taken a wrong decision.Make others your good friends above all complexes. They will walk in need shoulder to shoulder with you. Make friendship at par; no over-expectations from each other. No over-expectations within your own family!Izzo man Tasha-O, wa Zillo man Tasha-O. The dignity, grace and disgrace are all in the hands of God. He scales our noble deeds and the bad ones to base grace and disgrace. So, we should try to win the likeliness of God and not the people.
Children from parents who were less privileged and with no/or little education, rose to be the president of country, ragional managers of big corporation, owner of large industrial. estates. Among others, in Pakistan, Imdad International, Batala Engineering, Allama Iqbal son of a petty trader.
People will respect you:
If you give due respect to your family members.
Greet others and be respectful to them.
Keep in contact with your neighbors; be with them in sweet and sour.
If you find anyone in need, extend possible help.
Speak comfortably.Avoid harsh talk and confrontation.
If your communication has hurt anyone, apologize for that.
Keep your surroundings neat and clean.
Avoid loudness late evenings.
If you arrange any party in your house late evenings (usually it should be before 10); check with your neighbors around; if that should not disturb them.
