Kuch Din Say - DHANAKA SHARIF
It would be of general public interest, especially the tax-payers, to know if a resident pir lives in the Prime Minister House presently. Nawaz Sharif’s pir of the past was the celebrated Dewana Baba of Dhanaka Sharif in Mansehra District. His real name was Rahmat Ullah. He died in 2008. In his second term as PM, Sharif had his village electrified, according to a source from that area. When Sharif exited in 1993, the only ‘souvenir’ he left behind for his successor Benazir Bhutto was Dewana Baba. BB must have believed that if the Baba got Sharif two terms in office, surely the pir’s prayers and blessings must have endowed her too. My source tells me she would trek the hilly terrain where the Baba lived holding a danda to beat his VVIP and other visitors with. The more the beating, the more the benedictions from the pir. Eventually, PM Benazir had a helipad constructed for her frequent commute. “Dhanaka Sharif was also connected with the outside world through the construction of a paved road on Benazir Bhutto’s orders,” says the source.

Kuch Din Say

Kuch din Say teray Sath koi baat nahi hai
Yoon lagta hay Sadion Say Mulaqat nahi hay
Dukh dard Sunao mujhay har baat bata
Ye dil ki khuwahish hay meri baat nahi hay
Jab yad teri aye to aa jatay hain aansu
Main kaysay kahu aankh may Barsaat nahi hay
Sookhay huway kuch phool hain or ashk hain taaza
Kuch or meray paas to Soghaat nahi hay
Waaqif hay meray dard Say Subho ka ujaala
Laa-ilm meray gham Say meri raat nahi hay
Main jis kì Mohbat may yoon be-haal hoon ab tak
Wo hans k ye kehta hay Koi baat nahi hay.SHAHID.
