Bulleh Shahs Kafi, brilliant performed by Noori and Saai Zahoor

Parh parh ilm te faazil hoya
Te kaday apnay aap nu parhya ee na

Bhaj bhaj warna ay mandir maseeti
Te kaday mann apnay wich warya ee na

Larna ay roz shaitaan de naal
Te kadi nafs apnay naal larya ee na

Bulleh Shah asmaani ud-deya pharonda ay
Te jera ghar betha unoon pharya ee na

Okay tonight I have decided to write a sentimental post. After all I am writing after a very long time and the day I have chosen is the night before my birthday. I am sure not many are interested to know why I have been away from my blog. I blame twitter or micro blogging, as its serving my interest. I twit my views on sports, politics, technology, love/hate, current affairs which if related to Pakistan has something to do with terrorism (how unfortunate).

Anyways today I took some time out to scribble my rusty quill. If I look back at my non celebrity life it has been a mixture of kabhi khushi kabhi gham. But God has always been there for me with a torch light showing that there still some way about of all my troubles. I started my career with a slave wage despite the telecom degree which I worked really hard for. I still remember those three days when I was stuck at work (Benazir assassination days) with very little food and water to survive on. I often slept on the floor of that office during my night shifts. I ain’t any billionaire today nor do I have huge achievements under my belt. But today when I look back at the little achievements I have made (little for others and big for myself) I have a mix bag of feelings, I wonder if it’s really worth waiting, struggling and fighting for? Is it really worth to lose some to gain some?

One has to wait till the end of the show to find that out I guess…

Ab kyoon us din ka zikar karo
Jab dil tukray ho jaaey ga
Aur saaray gham mitt jaaeingay
Jo kuchh paaya kho jaaega
Jo mil na saka, voh paaeingay
Yeh din to wuho pehla din hai
Jo pehla din thhaa chaahat ka
Hum jiss ki tamanna kartay rahay
Aur har dum jiss say dartay rahay
Yeh din to kitnee baar aaya
Saw baar basay aur ujarr gaey
Saw baar lutay aur phir paaya

Ab kyoon us din ki fikar karo
Jab dil tukray ho jaaega
Aur saaray gham mitt jaaengay
Tum khauf-o-khatar say dar guzro
Jo hona hai, so hona hai
Gar hansna hai to hansna hai
Gar rona hai to rona hai
Tum apni karni kar guzro
Jo hoga daikha jaaega
Jo hoga daikha jaaega

Kuddos to Maleeha for doing complete justice to the song and singing it so beautifully
