Today i’ll share with you a true story———-
Allah created, beautified and glorified this world with every possible thing like oceans, mountains, meadows, flora and fauna, rain, twilight, sun, stars, moon, moonlight animals, birds-you name and you have it—–for the human beings————for US—
All these blessings are clearly mentioned in Surah Rehman and in many other verses of Quran.
Allah is brilliance—- splendor—- and love
Allah loves peace
He sent us on this earth to be good, kind caring and to make the world beautiful and peaceful place to live and let live-—– to relish and cherish.
Allah gives and forgives. We having the same attributes as Almighty, thus HE expect us also to give and forgive——–but its Satan that misguides us, and the ones with weaker faith and will follow him. Thus, when we follow Satan we get into trouble
Don’t get upset please— I’m not giving you lecture but I’m just sharing the reason for our existence. To follow the right path and not to expect any reward for any act of kindness from anyone—- just do well, forget and keep moving——-
The story I’m going to share with you today is about our neighbors. The family consisted of a widow of an army officer, three sons and two daughters. They shared the house with their brother and his family.
That army officer died in line of duty, and hence the wife wanted compensation from army.
The eldest son was mentally not stable. The other two were medical students. The sisters stayed home helping her mother in household tasks.
The widow was uneducated but a contented and wise lady. She had no means or source of income. So she kept requesting the army to arrange something to raise her young children respectfully
The army arranged them a truck to start business using it for goods transportation. Gradually it worked and their financial position got better.
The lady then arranged marriage of her eldest son thinking that it might make him feel more responsible to run the house.
All arrangements were made for the wedding. The guests were there to attend. Everything was just right. The groom was ready too. Happiness prevailed around. But—– at the time of nikah, the groom stood up from his seat all of a sudden and speedily went away. It was so sudden that nobody could understand
They looked around for him but he disappeared —nobody knows where. It was so embarrassing for both the parties.
The bride’s family was less privileged so they were in more upsetting position. Then the younger brother who was studying medicine came forward and offered himself for the marriage. The bride was chosen as a mate for the older son based on his unstable mental condition.
It was his sacrifice and good deed to save his family and bride’s family from awkward and embarrassing position. As the girl (bride) would not have found another person to marry her as the groom ran away. People would have held responsible that there was something wrong with her. In addition, society would have looked down at her parents. This was almost a disaster situation for the bride and family
The sacrifice of the doctor to be, was rewarded by Almighty. She was very beautiful, wise cooperative and kind. Time passed——— Almighty Allah who knows everything blessed them with healthy beautiful children.
the elder son who fled from the wedding stage came back home himself after few months. he was welcomed and no body disturbed him by asking questions
After forty years or more they got my address somehow and visited me. It was a great pleasure to see them after so long. The brother who had runaway is also taken care of by this brother. He is alive though but not mentally stable yet.

I’m still young and delightful

Light wind adheres abound
Flowers blossom all around
Melodious chimes abound
Spring also thrives around
Where are you off to cup bearer?
Come back, and come hither
What do you see! What is it?
Hold the chalice, hold it up
Hold chalice, pour in the cup
Fill the cup and bring it hither
LO! The blossoming spring
Fragrant air is unaware of spring
Dark clouds hover in the sky
Beyond the horizon; sally in sky
The gathering crowd of drinkers
Haste to the tavern to join others,
Why doubt and derogate me
I’m weedy, don’t misjudge me
It’s yet time to be religious
I’m youthful and delightful
Talk of worship rings around
Be forgiven is feared about
Yearning is to get rewards
Sins feared of bring no reward,
What do you think holy preacher
Longing and love isn’t together?
When love awakens you
When their lure enliven you
And fragrance of passion stirs you
How can one defy? Can you?
Styles to kindle, is everywhere
Some at hand and some there
Lavishly breathe here and there
With so much appeal everywhere
How can one refuse to adhere?
You are right so is point of view
I do agree with your point of view
Yet! I’m youthful and gorgeous
Leisure walks in the mountains
Leisure walks about fountains
Melodious chant of nightingales
Lively chuckle of the damsels
If meets a being of same likes
So vanish all ails and dislikes
If destiny fails to favor anyone
Life’s pleasures leave that one
The life’s ecstatic tales of love
These bounties of lovely youth
Fantasy and allure from there
Tall tales and show from here
The mood and the ambiance
Appealing beautiful ambiance
How can I leave bubbly feel
Death is so close, yet I don’t feel
No! No, not at all, not so soon
I’m still young anddelighful
No concern of grief or relief
Not fear of position or belief
No concern of life or death
No uneasiness FOR after death
Optimism and pessimism lost
Senses lessen, thoughts lost
Everything around fades away
The lot runs out but the glass
Wine to rumble, so the glass
The party I must make livelier,
The setting be again lovelier
Hustle and bustle of life enliven
Sing a song of bloom and gloom
To make hearts cheer and doom
Everybody demands the cup bearer
To keep serving; O! Cup bearer,
I’m still young and delightful

Hairat-e-ishq nahin, shauq junoon-posh nahin
Be-hijabana chale aao mujhe hosh nahin…..
Am neither thrilled nor disrupting at all
Come liberally, I’m not in senses at all
Rind jo mujh ko samajhte hain, unhein hosh nahin
Maikada saaz hoon main maikada bardosh nahin
Who think I’m a drunk aren’t in their senses
I liven up the bar , not ruin; I’m in my senses
Kah gai kaan mein aa kar tere daaman ki hawa
Sahib-e-hosh wohi hai, ke jise hosh nahin
Breeze softly whisper in my ear of thy coming
Who seems intoxicated, is actually in senses
Kabhi un mad-bhari aankhon se piya tha ek jaam
Aaj tak hosh nahin, hosh nahin, hosh nahin
Those miraculous eyes once intoxicated me
Since that moment till now I’m not in senses
Mehw-e-tasbeeh hi to sab hain magar idraaq kahaan
Zindagi khud hi ibaadat hai magar hosh nahin
One and all reciting on rosary with no awareness
Life is worship and divine, but no one’s in senses
Mil ke jis din se gaya hai koi ik baar ‘jigar’
Mujh ko ye waham hai jaise mera aagosh nahin
The day my love me me and went away, Jigar
I feel I have missing my heart and my senses
~ Jigar Muradabadi (1890–1960)

1- āfāq se ustād-e-yagāna uThā
mazmūñ ke javāhar kā ḳhazāna uTThā
insāf kā nauha hai ye bālā-e-zamīñ
sartāj-e-fasīhān-e-zamāna uThā
**
A unique noble mentor passed away
A treasure of wisdom passed away
It’s indeed melancholy for this world
A genuine precious guru passed away
………………
2- is bazm ko jannat se jo ḳhush paate haiñ
rizvāñ liye gul-dasta-e-nūr aate haiñ
kyā sahn hai gulshan-e-azā-e-shabbīr
paanī yahāñ ḳhizr aa ke chhiḌak jaate haiñ
**
More bliss is herein this party than paradise
Bouquets brought here by janitor of paradise
What a serene murky courtyard of Shabbir
To tranquil; water’s sprinkled here by Khizr
……
3- parvāne ko dhun sham.a ko lau terī hai
aalam meñ har ek ko tag-o-dau terī hai
misbāh o nujūm āftāb o mahtāb
jis nuur ko dekhtā huuñ zau terī hai
**
Radiance of candle and moth’s devotion
Is everyone’s passion for your motivation
The lustrous bodies, the sun and the moon
Everything that I see has radiance of you
………
4- is dar pe har ek shādmāñ rahtā hai

Each one feels delighted on this threshold
Blessed and elated live on this threshold
Every harvest is lucrative and productive
Every season is bejeweled and productive

1-āshiq ko dekhte haiñ dupaTTe ko taan kar
dete haiñ ham ko sharbat-e-dīdār chhān kar
Glance beloved’s glimpse through her veil
She lets her seen through strainer of her veil
…..
2-‘anīs’ āsāñ nahīñ ābād karnā ghar mohabbat kā
ye un kā kaam hai jo zindagī barbād karte haiñ
Anis, it’s not easy making a cherished home
The ones having no guts make such a home
…..
3-‘anīs’ dam kā bharosā nahīñ Thahar jaao
charāġh le ke kahāñ sāmne havā ke chale
Anis, hold on! No surety of a single breath
Why go in front of strong wind and hearth
…….
4-ashk-e-ġham diida-e-pur-nam se sambhāle na ga.e
ye vo bachche hai jo maañ baap se paale na ga.e
Flowing tears of gloom can’t be controlled
Like rebellious kids! Parents fail to control
………………..
5-gul-dasta-e-ma.ānī ko na.e Dhañg se bāñdhūñ
ik phuul kā mazmūñ ho to sau rañg se bāñdhūñ
Give new meanings to bouquet of poetry
As each verse is myriad of bouquet poetry
……………………….
6-karīm jo tujhe denā hai be-talab de de
faqīr huuñ pa nahīñ aadat-e-savāl mujhe
O the most Kind! Give me without me pleading
Though I’m a meek beggar, I dislike beseeching
…………………..
7-lagā rahā huuñ mazāmīn-e-nau ke phir ambār
ḳhabar karo mere ḳhirman ke ḳhoshā-chīnoñ
Again I’m composing loads of new themes
Let know planter of harvest and my theme
……………
8-tamām umr jo kī ham se be-ruḳhī sab ne
kafan meñ ham bhī azīzoñ se muñh chhupā ke chale
As I was ignored all throughout my life
Thus I’m wrapped in shroud leaving life
The death itself brought news of life for me
I’m a vanishing lamp, death is infinity for me
No one pleased me and brought joy in my life
Why weep now, when I no longer breathe life
I’m curbed to a corner engulfed in my distress
Almighty nurtures me in my bliss and distress
O the pious worshiper! Garden of Eden for you
Hence being a sinner; woe of hell for me though
I would lighten as a candle if flourished brightly
But the ambiance wasn’t in my support actually
Every heart and soul wishes for the same for me
If the mortal turns to dust, it’ll be infinity for me
Mortal has magnetic charm towards dust Anis
Karbala is for me! I’ve to bear it with endurance
…………………………….
ḳhud naved-e-zindagī laa.ī qazā mere liye
sham-e-kushta huuñ fanā meñ hai baqā mere liye
zindagī meñ to na ik dam ḳhush kiyā hañs bol kar
aaj kyuuñ rote haiñ mere āshnā mere liye
kunj-e-uzlat meñ misāl-e-āsiyā huuñ gosha-gīr
rizq pahuñchātā hai ghar baiThe ḳhudā mere liye
tū sarāpā ajr ai zāhid maiñ sar-tā-pā gunāh
bāġh-e-jannat terī ḳhātir karbalā mere liye
naam raushan kar k kyūñkar bujh na jaatā misl-e-sham.a
nā-muvāfiq thī zamāne kī havā mere liye
har nafas ā.īna-e-dil se ye aatī hai sadā
ḳhaak tū ho jā to hāsil ho jilā mere liye
ḳhaak se hai ḳhaak ko ulfat taḌaptā huuñ ‘anīs’
karbalā ke vāste maiñ karbalā mere liye
Alluring evening and lovely ambiance
Is absorbed in thy attire’s fragrance!
And my stimulating heavenly dream
Is just a number of moments’ stream!
A star will rise in a while on the horizon
Will remind you from the sky and horizon
Of some undo chore, old memory, a tale
Echo of a memory, a dream, untold tale
We ought to have met somewhere
In the land of appealing dreams
Or in good realm of time’s theme
In skies, on some land, in heavens
We ought to have met therein
…………………………….
yay haseen shaam apni
abhi jiss meiN ghul rahi hai
teray parahan kee khushboo
abhi jiss meiN khil rahay heiN
meray khawab kay shagoofay
zera dair ka hai manzar
zera dair meiN ufq par
khilay ga koi sitaara
teri simt daik kar woh
karay ga koi ishara
teray dil ko aayay ga phir
kissi yaad ka bullawa
koi qissa-ay judaaee, koi kaar-ay naamukamal
koi khawab-ay naa shagufta, koi baat kehnay wali
humeiN chaahiyay tha milna
kissi ahad-ay mehrbaaN meiN
kissi khawab kay yaqeeN meiN
kissi aur aasmaaN par
kissi aur sarzameeN meiN
humeiN chahiyay tha milna…
blessings for all
