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.

Bahar Bhi Ab Andar Jaisa Sannata Hai

January 07, 2016 0
Bahar bhi ab andar jaisa sannaata hai, dariya ke us paar bhi gehra sannaata hai. Shor thame toh shayad sadiyaan beet chuki hain, ab tak lekin sehma sehma sannaata hai. Kis se bolun ye toh ek sehra hai jahaan par, main hun ya phir goonga behra sannaata hai. Jaise ek toofaan se pehle ki khamoshi, aaj meri basti mein aisa sannaata hai. Nayi sehar ki chaap na jaane kab ubhregi, chaaron jaanib raat ka gehra sannaata hai. Soch rahe ho socho lekin bol na padna, dekh rahe ho shehar mein kitna sannaata hai. Mehv-e-khwaab hain saari dekhne wali aankhen, jaagne wala bas ek andha sannaata hai. Darna hai toh anjaani aawaaz se darna, ye toh ‘shahid’ dekha-bhaala sannaata hai. !

Zara Si Der Mein Hum Kaise Kholte Us Ko..

January 07, 2016 0
Zara si der mein hum kaise kholte uss ko, tamaam umar lagi jhooth bolte uss ko. Jise kasheed kiya tha khumaar-e-khushboo se, misaal-e rang hawaaon mein gholtey uss ko. Woh khwaab mein hi utarta shuaa-e subah ke saath, hum apne aap hi palkon pe taultey uss ko. Woh ashq tha usey aankhon mein dafan hona tha, gauhar na tha ki sitaaron mein roltey uss ko. Woh bewafa tha toh iqraar laazmi karta, kuchh aur der meri jaan tatoltey uss ko. Kisi ki aankh se ‘mohsin’ zaroor peeta hai, tamaam shehar ne dekha hai daultey uss ko!!

Har kisi ko duniya me shohratain nhi milti

January 05, 2016 0
Har kisi ko duniya me shohratain nhi milti Zindagi k lamhon ki qeematain nhi milti, Fatah ki khuwahish me amaal b to lazim hain Sirf kuch iraadon se manzilain nhi milti, Faislay ye chahat k aasmano pe hotay hain Do dilon k milnay se qismatain nhi milti, Deen aur Duniya ko sath rakhna parta hai Masjidon me rehnay se jannatain nhi milti, Maan lo is zamanay me or b hain mujh jaisay Hasb-e-aarzoo jinhay chahatain nhi milti.

Wo Muhabbat Bhi Teri Thi

January 05, 2016 0
Wo Muhabbat Bhi Teri Thi Wo Shararat Bhi Teri Thi, Agar Kuch Bewafai Thi To Wo Bewafai Bhi Teri Thi, Hum Chhor Gaye Tera Shehar To Wo Hidayat Bhi Teri Thi, Akhir Karte To Kis Say Karte Tumari Shikayat Wo Shehar Bhi Tera Tha Aur Wo Adalat Bhi Teri Thi!
