Lahore’s Gulbarg colony where retired Government servants have built themselves large bungalows popularly known as Rishwatpura.
Srafat Hussain, our hero is a humble excise inspector who on completion of his larger-than-legitimate mansion inserted near the entrance a marble slab inscription ‘Huza bin fazl-i-Rabbi’(this by the grace of God’.
One morning as the house-owner stroll out of the lawn towards the entrance he saw a man gazing at his mansion, praising its grandeur with ‘Arey Wah’ and ‘Kya Khoob’ etc.
But also shedding copic tears. The mansion owner approached him and asked, "Janaab, I do not understand why if you are praising my humble ghareeb khana, you are also crying looking at it? Is there something that does not please you?
“I think your ‘daulat khana’ is wonderful. What makes me cry is that you have given credit to the wrong one.” he replied
Pointing to the marble slab. “It is not God who taught you how to make money as an excise inspector but was I. You should have given me the credit:”
“And who may you be, Sir?” asked the mansion owner?"
“I am Satan”. was the reply.
