Re: Mom’s words
Brother STP:
When I didnt follow up upon promises or something practical, my late babajaan would say:
- Koun jeeta hai tere zulf ke sar honay tak…*
And a fav. poem my babajaan used to quote quite often:
Khud ko kar buland itna,
ki har taqdeer se pehley.
Khuda khud bandey se poochey,
Bataa,“Teri raza kya hain?”
Translation:
O man! wake up and make yourself so strong that,
God himself will ask you before he pens your destity “tell me ye man,
what you want your destiny to be!”
My darling mum:
Guftum ki na guftum…? Didnt I tell you so? :rotato:
