Kissi Mulk ke Baasi hone ka hargiz yeh matlab nahin ho saktaa keh sirf uss Mulk ke Shehri hone ki waajah se koi uss Mulk ki zubaan per Aboor rakhtaa hogaa..aaj tak i dont think , keh kisi bhi Pakistaani yeh daawaa kyia ho keh ussko urdu Zubaan per Aboorr Hasil hai..yaqeenan Aboor haasil karnaa koi baat nahin hogaa..bohaat saare logon ko hogaa magar kissi ne yeh dawaa nahin kyia keh wo mukaamal urdu jaante hain yaa kissi se behtaar haiN…Urdu aik aisa Samundar hai jisski jitni gehraai mein Ghautaa-zani ki jaaye utni hi nayaab Cheezein urdu ki Gehraaioun mein mileNgi..main ne aabhi yeh site to nahIn dekhi lekin…iss baat mein koi Koi Shakk nahin keh koi Ghair-mulki behtar rdu na jaanta ho…
Sir. Dr. Illamaa Mohammad Iqbaal German-Nizhaad nahiN they magar unhooN ne germans ko aik Cheez baataai thi keh German ki Grammer mein aqs hai aur aaj taak german ahereeen iss baat ko maante haiN keh unki grammer meiN naqaais haiN…!!! it was just an Example..kHer main aapki diye huwe Link ko check akrooNgaa…! aur yaqeenan jo bhi Insaan hogaa jiske baare mein aap keh rahi hain keh paakistaanion se behtar Urdu jaanta hai to you are wrong kiounkeh Urdu Zubaan ko PaimaanoN meiN naapaa nahIn jaa saktaa…na to koi Pakistaani hi yeh keh sakta hai keh ussko kissi se behtar Urdu aati hai na koi ghairmulki yeh daawaa kar saaktaa hai..Urdu zubaan per sirf wohi og dastaras rakhte haiN , jinhoon ne Urdu ke Maidaan meiN mehnat ki hai…!!! so aap ka yeh kehnaa aapki raaye ke mutaabiq shaiyaad Theek ho magar mere kHaiyaal se yeh sirf aap ka Weham hai!!!

**Wo Ilm de jo kItaaboN se Be-Niaaz kare
Wo Aql de ke do Aalam meiN Sarfraaz kare

Mujhey to is se gHarz hai keh Raazi ho Dilbar
Yeh kaam Qais´ kare ya koi Aiyaaz´ kare
