Lagta nahin jee mera, ujre dayar mein
Kis ki bani hai, aalam-e-napaiydaar mein
Bulbul ko paasbaan se na sayyad se gila
Qismat mein qaid thi likhi, fasl-e-bahar mein
Keh do in hasraton se kahin aur ja basein
Itni jagah kahan hai, dil-e-daaghdaar mein
Ek shaakh-e-gul pe beith ke bulbul hain shaadmaan
Kaante bicha diye hain, dil-e-lalahzaar mein
Umr-e-daraaz maang ke laaye the char din
Do aarzu mein kat gaye, do intezar mein
Din zindegi ke khatam hue, shaam hogayi
Phaila ke paaon soyenge, kunj-e-mazar mein
Kitna hai badnaseeb zafar, dafan ke liye
Do gaz zameen bhi mil na saki, ku-e-yaar meinMy heart is not happy in this ruined land
Who has ever found fulfillment in this transient world?
The nightingale has no complaint against the guard or the hunter
It was in her fate to remain caged during the spring
Tell these desires to go settle elsewhere
Where is there enough room for them in my wounded heart?
The joyous nightingales sit on a flower covered bough
But thorns have been scattered throughout the flower gardens of my heart
I asked for a long life, and was given but four days
Two were wasted in desire, two in waiting
The days of my life come to a close, dusk approaches
I shall spread my feet in slumber, in a corner of my tomb
How ill fated is Zafar, for his burial place
He couldn’t find two yards of space, in the lane of his beloved

AROO PARO passed the musical baton to me.. so lend me thine ears...as i breach the Private and Confidential Act 1999.
here goes nuttin':
Total volume of music files on my computer: approx. 1.4GB...mine alone...My bro got his own file..probably 2-3GB...dunno..dont like his taste of musics anyway
Last CD I bought: never bought one..they dont have good nasheed CD on sale here.I dont trust online purchase..or ..the shipping cost is unreasonably too high.
e.g. Ya Rajaain 3 album - US$ 4.32
Packaging and delivery - US$12.00
Songs playing right now: Mo'ebahiroon by Ahmed Bukhatir....ok just moved on to Entasaf al- Layl by Mohammad Obeid.
Five tracks I listen to a lot:

2)Elaika by Mohammad Obeid
3)Khaliqool Akhwan by Hamood al-Khadir
4)Ya Moe'tamm
5)Tanweel ul-Shawq by Ahmed Bukhater
Three people to whom I'm passing the baton: ok this is tough...

Assalamualeykum wrbt...i feel like writing about this
3 words..which some us consider as either too sacred to be uttered...or..in most cases...too proud to mention it.
3 words...
can you guess it?..its simple english words..
NO! its not
I LUV YOU
Thats no difficult word to utter...as a matter of fact...let me say this... I LOVE YOU!
yea, you!...
no..i'm not gay..neither am i having a secret crush on you...lol...enuff bollywood for you!:P
If you're reading this..you are probably a Muslim...and a Muslim is to love his bros and siss..(like duh!)..you dont need a sheikh to tell you that.
OK..cut the crap Afzal..tell them what the 3 words.....NOW!!
Ok..chill...
3 simple words....
hard to be uttered by some...
3 magical words...that can save thousands of lives and millions of money.....
I AM SORRY
No i'm not sorry..why should i be...i didnt wronged you!...hahaha...
That was the 3 words. simple..right?
Yet..why is it so hard for us to say it to people we wronged to..?
well..i'm being general...some of us are totally cool!...Some are too cool..saying sorry even to things they didnt caused...just to avoid further tension!
Masha'Allah..if you are one of them...
but unfortunately thats not the case for most Homo sapiens . Too much pride i'ld say.
I'm not saying i'm not one of those people who find it hard to say Sorry......it seems to be the hardest word sometimes...
but the 'just for thought' part is that...
if I didnt said sorry to that anonymous...he/she will be hurt..for how long..as long as he live?
I would have probably forgot what i did to him...but will the hurt person forget...(well..lets say the person isnt a amnesia patient)..then there's a high chance he wont forget...
so live goes on..rite?
WRONG!
As long as that person havent forgiven you...God's wrath lies upon you...(assuming he's muslim)...
The sin is not God's to forgive...He's Most Forgiving...you say Sorry sincerely..."kun Faya Kun"...you are forgiven...
but the sin you made (by unjustly hurting sumone's feeling)..is between you and him!
lets put it this way...
Without his pardon..you dont get God's pardon.
Well..thats a thought...
sorry if i'm going in circles...i'm having a headache..and its way pass my bed time.

| You scored as Religious. Crusading (literally) for a unified world religion, you believe in the rightness of your one truth and seek to spread it. You hold a strong faith in the divine manifestation of your cause. Some Religious Wars include the Crusades (obviously) and, some would say, the War in Iraq of today.
Revolution | | 85% | Religious | | 85% | Ideological War | | 80% | Imperialistic War | | 55% | Nationalistic War | | 40% | Total War | | 15% |

Friend!
What is a friend?
And who shall tell you of what a friend is?
He is indeed a person sent to lighten your day.And that bond is indeed, a blessing from God Most High.
Friends,sons,wealth and positions are all trials from Him,so that you may show your love to Him over the worldly attractions.
Woe, and again woe, to he who deals with his friend like he deals the merchandise for trade.Had it not been for the mercy of his Lord, he would have been stranded in a lonely island,inhabitated by man.When alone, he shall beg for a companion.And when a companion is granted to him, he shall take The blessing for granted. Woe and woe again.
Those who bargain in friendship.And those who take friendship as a mean of gain for their life in Duniya. Woe and again woe.
Do they think their wealth came from their contacts? Nay, friends,sons,wealth and positions are all from Him.A sign of His Mercy.So praise Him and give your thankfulness to Him all night and all day.God is Most Great, there is none worthy of worship but Him.
So when you see your brother,smile.For smile is charity. And when you've been blessed with a friend, be thankful.
Indeed, God loves those who are thankful.
