Quote of the day...
"When Allah tests you, it is never to destroy you. When He removes something in your possession, it is only in order to empty your hands for an even greater gift!." [Ibn Al-Qayyim]
Quote of the day...
“You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the Earth by the Master Craftsman.”

Jaisy Mahtab Ko Bayant Samandar Chahy.......!
Jaisy Soraj Ki Kiran Seep K Dil Mein Utray......!
Jaisy Khushbo Ko Hawa Rang Say Hat Kar Chahy.......!
Jaisy Pathar K Kalejay Say Kiran Phootti Hai.........
Jaisy Ghunchy Khuly Mousam Say Hina Mangty Hein...
Jaisy Khabon Me Kheyalon Ki Kaman Tootti Hai.....
Jaisy Barish Ki Dua Aabla Pa Mangty Hein.....
Mera Her Khab Mere Sach Ki Gawahi De Ga........
Wusat E Deed Ne Tujh Se Teri Khahish Ki Hai........
Meri Sochon Me Kabhi Dekh Sarapa Apna..........!!!
Mein Ne Dunya Se Alag Teri Parastish Ki Hai.........!!!
Khahish E Deed Ka Mousam Jo Kabhi Dhundla Howa
Noch Dali Hein Zamano Ki Naqabein Mein Nay........
Teri Palkon Pe Otarti Hue Subhon K Liye....
Torr Dali Hein Sitaroon Ki Tanabein Mein Nay....
Mein Ne Chaha K Tere Husan Ki Gulnar Fiza....
Meri Ghazalon Ki Qataron Se Dehakti Jaey....
Mein Ne Chaha K Meray Fun K Gulistan Ki Bahar....
Teri Ankhon K Gulabon Se Mehakti Jaey....
Teh Toh Ye Tha K Sajata Rahy Lafzon K Kanwal!!
Mere Khamosh Kheyalon Mein Takalum Tera........
Raqs Karta Rahy Bharta Rahy Khushbo Ka Khumar.....
Meri Khahish K Jazeeron Mein Tabasum Tera.....
Toh Magar Ajnabi Mahool Ki Parwarda Kiran
Meri Bujhti Hue Raton Ko Sehar Kar Na Saki....
Teri Sanson Me Maseehai Thi Lekin Toh Bhi
Chara E Zakham E Gham E Deeda E Tar Kar Na Saki....
Tujh Ko Ehsas He Kab Hai K Kisi Dard Ka Dagh...
Ankh Se Dil Me Utar Jaey To Kiya Hota Hai....???
Toh K Seemab Tabiyat Hai Tujhy Keya Maloom
Mousam E Hijar Thehar Jaey To Keya Hota Hai??????????
Tu nay Us Morr Pe Torra Hai Taluq K Jahan
Dekh Sakta Nahi Koi Bhi Palat Kar Janan.........
Ab Ye Aalam Hai K Ankhein Jo Khulein Gi Apni
Yad Aey Ga Teri Deed Ka Manzar Janan......
Mujh Se Mangy Ga Tere Ohad E Mohabbat Ka Hisab.......!!!
Tere Hijran Ka Dehakta Huwa Mehshar Janan
Youhn Mere Dil K Barabar Tera Ghum Aya Hai........
Jaisy Sheeshy K Muqabil Koi Pathar Janan.........
Jaisy Mahtab Ko BeAnt Samondar Chahy
Mein Ne Is Tor Se Chaha Tujhy Aksar Janan

Poetry Recitation: Gar mujhe iska yaqin ho..
Lyrics:
Gar mujhe iska yaqiin ho
mere hamdum mere dost
gar mujhe iska yaqiin ho
ke tere dil kii thakan
Terii ankhon kii udaasii tere siine kii jalan
merii diljouyi mere piyar se mit jaiy gi
gar mera harf e tasalii woh dawa ho jis se
ji uthae phir tera ujraa hoa benoor dimagh
Teri peshaani se dhul jain ye tazlil ke daag
Teri bemaar jawani ko shafaa ho jaiy
Gar mujhe iska yaqin ho mere hamdum mere dost
roz o shab sham o sahar mein tujhe behelataa rahoun
mein tujhe geet sunaataa rahaoun
halke shireen
aabshaaroun ke baharoun ke chaman zaaroun ke geet
aamad e subh ke mehtaab ke siyaaroun ke geet
tujh se mein husn o mohabaat kee hikayat kahoun
Kaise mughroor hasinaoun ke barfaab se jism
garm hathoun ki haraarat se pighal jaatae hein
Kaise ek chehre ke therae hoay maanus naqush
dekhte dekhtae yuklukht badal jaatae hein
kiss tarha aariz e mehbub ka shafaaf bilour
yukbayuk baad aiy ahmar se dehak jaata hei
kaise gulcheen ke liye jhuktee hei khud shaakh e gullaan
kiss tarha raat ka aiwaan mehak jaata hei
Yunhee gaata rahoun gata rahoun teri khaatir
geet buntaa rahoun ,betha rahoun teri khaatir
pur mere geet tere dukh ka mudawa hee nahi
naghma jarrah nahi munis o gham khaour sahee
geet nashtar tu nahi marham e azaar sahi
tere azaar ka charaa nahi nashtar ke siwa
Aur ye safak maseeha mere qabze mein nahi
iss jahaan ke kisi zee ruh ke qabze mein nahi
Haan magar tere siwa , tere siwa......tere siwa
English Translation:
If I could believe,
for one second,
my friend,
that my words, my song
could wither away
that weariness in your heart
the sadness in your eyes
the pain in your heart,
If my words of solace
could be the potion
to clear away
the autumn in your mind
could dissolve
the stains of humiliation
from your forehead
your sickened youth
could be healthy
If I could believe
my friend
day and night
I would comfort you
I would sing for you
light, sweet, songs
songs of waterfalls and spring
of orchards, of morning,
of moon and stars
I would tell you all
about love and beauty
I would tell you how
you could melt
the bitter cold bodies
of proud maidens
with your warm hands
I would tell you how
a stem of roses bends
to offer itself
to be plucked
and lends its fragrance
to the walkways of night
If I could believe it
I would sing and sing for you
I would knit new songs for you
I would sit by your side
for ever and ever
But I know,
my songs
though they are
balm to your wounds
are no remedy for your pain
my melodies are no medicine
for what ails you
The hands that could
heal your wounds,
bandage your heart
are no one's
but your own.`
How could I ever thank my Friend?
How could I ever thank my Friend?
No thanks could ever begin to be worthy.
Every hair of my body is a gift from Him;
How could I thank Him for each hair?
Praise that lavish Lord forever
Who from nothing conjures all living beings!
Who could ever describe His goodness?
His infinite glory lays all praise waste.
Look, He has graced you a robe of splendor
From childhood's first cries to old age!
He made you pure in His own image; stay pure.
It is horrible to die blackened by sin.
Never let dust settle on your mirror's shining;
Let it once grow dull and it will never polish.
When you work in the world to earn your living
Do not, for one moment, rely on your own strength.
Self-worshiper, don't you understand anything yet?
It is God alone that gives your arms their power.
If, by your striving, you achieve something good,
Don't claim the credit all for yourself;
It is fate that decides who wins and who loses
And all success streams only from the grace of God.
In this world you never stand by your own strength;
It is the Invisible that sustains you every moment.
~Sa'adi

khaab mertey nahi - nayara noor
Lyrics:
Khwaab martay nahiN
Khwaab dil hai na aaNkhaiN na saaNs k jo
Raiza-raiza huay to bikhar jaiNgay
Jism ki maut say yeh bhi mar jaiNgay
Khwaab martay nahiN
Khwaab to raushni haiN,nawa haiN,hawa haiN
Jo kaalay pahaaroN say ruktay nahiN
Zulm kay daur-khooN say bhi phuktay nahiN
Raushni aur nawa aur hawa kay alum
MaqtaloN maiN pahuNchkar bhi jhuktay nahiN
Khwaab to harf haiN
Khwaab to noor hain
Khwaab suqraat haiN
Khwaab maNsoor haiN

Poem of the day...
Yeh Aarzoo Thi TUJHE Gul Ke Ru Ba Ru Karte
Hum Aur Bulbul e Betaab Guftagu Karte
Payaam Bar Na Mayassar Hua To Khoob Hua
Zabaan e Ghair Se Kyaa Shar Ki Aarzoo Karte
Meri Tarah Se Maah o Mahar Bhi Hain Aawara
Kisi Habib Ko Ye Bhi Hain Justajoo Karte
Jo Dekhte TERI Zanjeer e Zulf kaa Aalam
Aseer Hone Ke Aazaad Aarzoo Karte
Na Poochh Aalam e Baragashtaa Taali e Aatish
Barasati Aag Main Jo Baaraan Ki Aarzoo Karte
Qasid Pyam e Ishq Ko Itna Na Kar Taveel
itna Kehna Hai Faqat Ye Unse K Ankhein Taras Gayin.....

Love each other for the sake of Allah...
1. Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good.When was the last time us men went shopping for designer pajamas? Just like the husband wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too. Remember that Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would always start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest smells.
2. Use the cutest names for your wife. Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - had nicknames for his wives, ones that they loved. Call your wife by the most beloved names to her, and avoid using names that hurt their feelings.
3. Don't treat her like a fly. We never think about a fly in our daily lives until it 'bugs' us. Similarly, a wife will do well all day - which brings no attention from the husband - until she does something to 'bug' him. Don't treat her like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus on that.
4. If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment! This is one of the ways Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - used when he would see something inappropriate from his wives - radi Allahu 'anhunn. It's a technique that few Muslim men have mastered.
5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often. Smiling is Sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the Muslim Ummah. Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember also those Ahadith when Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would kiss his wife before leaving for Salah, even if he was fasting.
6. Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take for example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the home, and a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only acknowledgement she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the soup. Don't let that be; thank her!
7. Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made her happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize what gives your wife pleasure. You don't have to play a guessing game, ask her and work on repeating those times in your life.
8. Don't be little her desires. Comfort her. Sometimes the men may look down upon the requests of their wives. Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam set the example for us in an incident when Safiyyah - radi Allahu 'anha - was crying because, as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears, comforted her, and brought her the camel.
9. Be humorous and Play games with your wife. Look at how Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would race his wife Aisha - radi Allahu 'anha - in the desert. When was the last time we did something like that?
10. Always remember the words of Allah's Messenger - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam: "The best of you are those who treat their families the best. And I am the best amongst you to my family." Try to be the best!
In conclusion: Never forget to make Dua to Allah - azza wa jall - to make your marriage successful. And Allah ta'ala knows best !!

Poetry....
Khuda tujhe kisi tofan se aashna karde,
Ki teri behar ki mojon me iztirab nahin,
Tujhe kitab se mumkin nahi farag ki tu,
Kitab khwan hai magar sahib-e-kitab nahin..

Zindagi ke melay mein - a poem by Amjad Islam Amjad
Zindagi ke melay mein
khawaishon ke railay mein
tum se kiya kahen jana
iss qadar jhamele mein
waqt ki rawani hai
bakht ki girani hai
sakht bay zameeni hai
sakht la makani hai
hijr k samandar mein
takht or takhte ki
ik ki kahani hai
tum ko jo sunani hai
baat go zara si hai
baat umar bhar ki hai
umar bhar ki baatein kab
do ghari mein hoti hain
dard k samandar main
an ginat jazeere hain
be shumar moti hain
aankh k dariche mein
tum ne jo sajaya tha
baat uss diye ki hai
baat uss gile ki hai
jo laho ki khilwat mein chor ban k aata hai
lafz ki faseelon par toot toot jata hai
zindagi se lambi hai
baat rat-jagay ki hai
raste mein kaise ho
baat takhliyeh ki hai
guftogo izaafi hai
pyar karne walon ko
aik nigah kaafi hai
ho sake to sun jao
ek din akele mein
Tum se kia kahen jana
Iss qadar jhamele mein

Alhamdulillah...
Its such a relief. For an entire hour my heart was beating at the speed of light and towards the last 5 min I could literally feel it juming out of my chest. Alhamdullah all iz well. Just one paper left now and for the next six months I can have some semblance of life back Inshallah. Thank you so much for all your duas. I couldn't have done it without them. A big burden is off my shoulders now, I'm almost to the finish line Inshallah. Onwards to the finer things of life :)

A letter from Mom and Dad- - I kinda cried when i first read it.[HD].mp4
Awww...This is so touching. Please look after your old folks while you have the chance, otherwise when you're away, you'd regret it. Old age is scary :(
Alex Band - Only One Lyrics
Lyrics:
My eyes are painted red
The canvas of my soul,
Slowly breaking down,again
Today I heard the news
The stories getting old
When will we see the end?
Of the days, we bleed for what we need
To forgive, forget, move on
Cause we've got
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us,
Only one
Only one
The writting's on the wall
Those who came before
Left pictures frozen still, in time
You say you want it all
But whose side you fighting for?
I sit and wonder why
There are nights, we sleep, while others they weep
With regret, repent, be strong
Cause we've got
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
Just you and I
Under one sky
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
The canvas of my soul,
Slowly breaking down,again
Today I heard the news
The stories getting old
When will we see the end?
Of the days, we bleed for what we need
To forgive, forget, move on
Cause we've got
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us,
Only one
Only one
The writting's on the wall
Those who came before
Left pictures frozen still, in time
You say you want it all
But whose side you fighting for?
I sit and wonder why
There are nights, we sleep, while others they weep
With regret, repent, be strong
Cause we've got
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
Just you and I
Under one sky
(chorus)
One life to live
One love to give
One chance to keep from falling
One heart to break
One soul to take us
Not for sake us
Only One
Only One
Heart touching poem by Gulzar on how the cyber age, the kindles and the world wide web has made books a forgotten treasure.
Zubaan per zaiqa aata tha jo safhay palatnay ka
Ab ungli click karny se bus ek jhapki guzarti hai
Buhut kuch teh ba teh jhukta chala jaata hai pardey per
Kitabon se jo zaati raabta tha, katt gaya hai…
Kabhi seenay per rakh ker lait jaatay thay
Kabhi godee mein letay thay
Kabhi ghutno ko apnay rehl ki soorat bana ker
Neem sajday mei parha kartay thay, chootay thay jabeen se
Woh saara ilm to milta rahay ga baad mein bhi
Magar wo jo kitabon mein mila kartay thay sookhay phool
Aur mehkay huay safhay
Kitabein maangnay girnay, uthanay kay bahanay rishtay bantay thay
Unn ka kya hoga?
Woh shayad ab nahin hongay…

Tu kon hay jo kinaray par khara hay
This amazing poem is written by a friend following the Multan blasts last year. Its just superb. Makes one think how oblivious we are to the situation in Pakistan while we live busy yet comfortable lives abroad. Really thought provoking. Hope it wakes the young people of Pakistan and the brain drain from their khaab-e-ghaflat.
Too kon hay jo kinaray pay khara hay,
Is dehekti zameen kay angaron may para hay,
Har taraf bijliyan garajteen hain teri,
Or tu ek bay khabar takhaiyul may ghira hay?
Kan ya aankhain, kya kuch nahi tere paas?
Ghar tera lut raha, or too mojoon may para hay?
Ye hansi teri bay ikhtiar gosha gosha gunjti hay,
Per aanhon kay liye tera, poora garha bhara hay?
Kyun bay hiss hay tu, iss aag ko kyun mita nahi saqta,
Har mard e momin bhi to zulm say lara hay?
Aisi kya zindagi jo sirf “main” per munhisar ho,
Tu kyun ghairon kay kadmon may ja kay para hay?
Bulbul bhi jab phansta hay, jaal kaatnay ata hay poora kaafla,
Or tu ek uqaab ho kar bhi bandishon may para hay?
Kesi dolat, kesa makaan, ye kesi talaash hay teri,
Ghar banaye tu ghairon me, ye kesi zillat me ghira hay?
Jahan jamaye tunay apne kadam, aaj wo galli reza reza hay,
Roain tere apne sare or tu sirf afsos me para hay?
Wahan banaye tu pull o imarat, jahan ki aag ghar jalaye tera,
Ghulami may aisay lutf uthaye, zameer kahan hay tera?
Do lafz bol ker farz nibhanay walay, zara hosh ker kay dekh,
Aashiyanay kay liyay mehez yehi farz hey tera?
Ghairat kahan gayi teri, jo khamosh khara dekhta hay,
Apne bhaiyon ka katal, roz shab o sawera?
Mot mandrati hay tere sir per wesay hee jese aasman,
Tu kyun badd gumaan, bay khof o khatar khara hay?
Kosti hay tujhay duniya, gali deta hay tujhay ye jahaan,
Tu phir bhi apni masti may, sab bhulaye khara hay?
Shohrat kay liyay apni, jhuti khairaat karay tu,
Duniya teri munafiqat par hansay, tu kis zawiyay may gira hay?
Bhai tere kashkol uthaye, bay bass nigahon say tujhay dekhe,
Or tu dhudkaray usay, ye kesa zulm kar raha hay?
Roz tere koochay me qayamat barpa hoti hay,
Goonj e dehshat har fard sunay, per tu he ghafil kara hay?
Kab karay ga iss tufan say hifazat, apne ghar o agosh ki,
Jab mit jayegi duniya say ye shanaakht, tu kis intezaar may khara hay?
Shaid he koi meri sada sunay, k iqbal o qaid taraptay hain,
Unki mohabbat o hikmat, aaj shaid nah rang layegi.
Nahi badle ga ye zamana shafaq*, ye duniya yahin doob jayegi,
Dekhte dekhte yay rangeen tasveer, supurd e khaak ho jayegi.
Ayesha Shafaq*
