   dost-o-yaar-i-hasti

   Imkaan-i-zamaana to khool raha hai
   Dekho aaj raushan paikar-i-aasman hai

   Haq to muqamil, jahan pay raaij hai
   Aaj inssan nahi, fareshta-i-qainaat hai

   If I may let me share a roobai of Ghalib

   Hai vasal hijr, alam-i-tamkeen o zabt main
   Mashooq shokh o ashiq devaana chahiay

   Us kay lab say bosaa mil to jai ga kabhi
   Haan, shauq-i-fuzool o juraat-i-rindana chahiay

   These are times to reach our destiny, which is heaven on earth! There is no heaven but Heaven! It is not something that we will be given or rewarded, but like freedom, we will have claim it, my dear friends.

   This world today is according to Faiz

   Dash to ab bhee dash hai, par lahoo pa say Faiz,
   Seerab hain chand khar-i-mughlian aur

   It is now in vain that Ghalib, but in provocation to a failing rab, but a moniker in the great travels of becoming human!

   In case we have forget, we are still on our way to become human, but exactly like to birth of a child one does not know the exact hour.

   My heart tells me the time has arrived and we are near the hour when our life as ‘human-like’ is coming to a close and our life as humans is about to begin. The Sun may rise tomorrow with exactly this news tomorrow…

   Alas the greatest of times are coming, beyond your and my wildest imagination!

   dost-o-yaar-i-hasti

   Imkaan-i-zamaana to khool raha hai
   Dekho! raushan paikar-i-aasman hai

   Haq to muqamil, jahan pay raaij hai
   Aaj insaan nahi, fareshta-i-qainaat hai

   If I may, let me share a roobai of Ghalib

   Hai vasal hijr, alam-i-tamkeen o zabt main
   Mashooq shokh o ashiq devaana chahiay

   Us lab say mil hi jai ga bosaa kabhi to haan,
   Shauq-i-fuzool o juraat-i-rindana chahiay

   These are times to reach our destiny, which is heaven on earth! There is no heaven but Heaven! It is not something that we will be given or rewarded, but like freedom, we will have claim it, my dear friends.

   This world today is according to Faiz

   Hai, dasht ab bhee dasht hai, magar khoon i pa say Faiz,
   Seerab chand khar-i-mughlian hooay to hain!

   It is now in vain that Ghalib says, but in provocation to a failing rab, but a moniker in the great travels of becoming human!

   In case we forget, we are still on our way to becoming human. So exactly like in birth of a child one does not know the exact hour, we also do not the hour of being born as humans!

   My heart tells me the time has arrived and we are near the hour when our life as ‘human-like’ is coming to a close and our life as humans is about to begin. The Sun may rise tomorrow with exactly this news.

   Alas the greatest of times are coming, beyond your and my wildest imagination!
