Burj Dubai - A Symbol of Dubai's Pomposity

[NyFella]

Ghalib said it for the occasion:

Masjid ke Zair-e-Saaya, Ik Ghar Bana Lia Hai
Wo Banda-e-Kameena, Hamsaya-e-Khuda Hai..

:sad:

@arjay

Ghalib also said this (probably foresaw BURJ KHALIFA) ;

SUBB KAHAN KUCCH LALA O’ GUL MEIN NUMAYEN HOGAYEEN…
KHAAK MEIN KIYA SOORTEIN HOUNGEE K PINHAN HOGAYEEN…

WOH NIGAHEIN KIYON HOEE JAATEE HEIN YA’RAB…DIL K PAAR…
JO MERI KOTAHEEAY QISMAT SE MUSRGAAN HOGAYEEN…

YUNN HEE ROUTAA RAHA GHALIB TOW AIE AHL-E-JEHAN…
DEKHNA INN BASSTTEEYON KO TUMM…K VEERAAN HOGAYEEN !

I was there in Dubai for the grand fireworks and openeing madness
and frankly–I didn’t find anything extraordinary!

(I dont know what happened to that pathan who stayed on top of the infrastructure for six months!?)

sorry guys my comprehension of urdu poetry is limited!
