Zahay-naseeb, zahay-naseeb, zara dekhein to sahih, kaun aaya hai aaj hamaray darbaar mein. :D

  • Paves the red carpet for buzurgaan-e-deen and alim-e-uloom *

  • Arey Mian, kir-kit mein jub 'tamasha' hoga tub hum bila-jhijhak shirkat karengey. Abhi wahan per mehndi aur shaadi ki dholkian aur shahnaayian bajnay dein. Log kahan kahan sey (aloo aur 'chor' kay) garhay murday ukhaar rahey hain, Allah jaanay.*

Hum chaley Khan Sahab kay liyey 'sarkaree' link dhoondnay (Jumma Bazaar sey). Namaaz bhi pardh lengey isi bahanay. Thora sawaab kamaa lein, warna merey to baal hee safaid hojayengey Wasim Bari ki shaan mein gustaakhi kar kar key. :D
