I have just discovered your blog and begun to explore it. I am from Turkey and writing an article about Pakistan. My subject is Pakistan's religious identity and its impacts on the politics. I am interested in your lovely country and I have done some really nice readings about Pakistan. Unfortunately, sources about Pakistan are limited here. Could you recommend me some books, journals, articles or any other kinds? I would be greateful to you. Thank you in advance! Salams to everyone!

Allaah parhion hafiz hoion,
Nah giaa hijaabon pardaa hoo
Parh Parh aalim faazil hoion,
Taalib hoion zar daa hoo
Lakh hazaar kitaabaan pahiaan,
Zaalim nafs na mardaa hoo
Baajh faqeeraan koee nah mare,
Eho chor andar daa hoo

You have read the name of God over and over,
You have stored the Holy Qur’an in your memory,
But this has still not the hidden mystery.
Instead, your learning and scholarship
Have sharpened your greed for worldly things.
None of the countless books you’ve read in your life
Has destroyed your brutal ego.
Indeed, none but the Saints can kill this inner thief,
For it ravages the very house in which it lives.

Eh tan meraa chashmaan hove,
Murshid wekh nah rajjaan hoo
Loon loon de mudh lakh lakh chashmaan,
Hik kholaan hik kajjaan hoo
Itniaan dithiaan sabar nah aave,
Hor kite val bhajjan hoo
Murshid daa deedaar hai Baahoo,
Lakh karorraan hajjaan hoo

Were my whole body festooned with eyes,
I would gaze at my Master with untiring zeal,
O, how I wish that every pore of my body
Would turn into a million eyes—
Then, as some closed to blink, others would open to see!
But even then my thirst to see him
Might remain unquenched.
What else am I to do?
To me, O Bahu, a glimpse of my Master
is worth millions of pilgrimages to the holy Ka’ba!

Andar wich namaaz asaadee,
Hikse jaa niteeve hoo
Naal qiam rakooa sajoode,
Kar takraar parheeve hoo
Eh dil hijar firaaqon sarriaa,
Eh dam mare nah jeeve hoo
Sachchaa raah Mohammad waalaa,
Jain wich Rabb labheeve hoo

I offer my prayer in the temple of my heart—
The only true place to worship God.
I stand in supplication, I bow in obeisance,
I tender my prayer without break in its repetition.
Hanging between life and death
My heart burns in the fire of separation from him.
The path indicated by the Prophet is true O Bahu:
Following it one can find God.

The scholar is proud of his learning,
The hafiz thrives on self-promotion!
With books under their arms
They swan around, selling their honour,
Wherever they find a promising household,
They read the scripture in loud, fervent strains
for a lucrative commission.

O Bahu! They have put God’s name on sale
just to make a living.

In this world they live spiritually bankrupt;
robbed of all honour, they go to the one beyond.
