Mohabbat hum ne ki jo ik khata hogai - 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.

Mohabbat hum ne ki jo ik khata hogai

Mohabbat hum ne ki jo ik khata hogai
Ki wafa or zindagi saza hogayi,

Wafa kerte rahay hum ibadaton ki tara
Phir ibadaat khud ik gunah ban gayi,

Kitna suhana tha safar jab sath thay hum
Phir kiya howa kyon manzil juda hogayi,

Koi chahat koi hasrat koi umeed nahi rahi
Wo gaya tu laga dunya fana hogayi,

Ye dua ki ke jisay chahe wohi milay osay
Par ye dua apne liye bad dua hogayi,

Abhi kuch dair howi usay yaad karte howay
Ye aaj kyon itni jaldi subah hogayi
