Police Corruption In Pakistan - A Musical Take

By Sikander Hayat Pakistani society tolerates corruption to a an extent that it is now taken fro granted that certain professions in Pakistan will make you rich through swindling public & private money.

Faiz Ahmad Faiz - Mujhse pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na mang

Mujhse pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na mang Maine samjha tha ke tu hai to darakhshan hai hayat Tera gham hai to gham-e-dehar ka jhagra kya hai Teri surat say hai aalam mein baharon ko sabat Teri aankhon ke siwa dunya main rakha kya hai Tu' jo mil jaye to taqdeer nugoon ho jaye Youn na tha maine faqat chaha tha youn ho jaye Aur bhi dukh hain zamane main mohabbat ke siwa Rahatein aur bhi hain vasal ki rahat ke siwa Anginat sadyoun ki tareek behimana tilsm Resham wa atlas wa kamkhwab main bunwaye hue Ja baja bikte hue koocha-o-bazar mein jism Khaak mein lithre hue khoon mein nehlaye hue Jism nikle hue imraz ke tanuron se Peep behti huee gulte hue nasooron se Lot jatee hai udhar ko bhi nazar kya kejeeye ? Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn magar kya kejeeye ? Aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa Rahatain aur bhi hain vasal ki rahat ke siwa Mujhse pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na mang

Poetry - Expressing The Soul of Pakistan

Cut off from the world, even in parts of his own home, Aitzaz Ahsan did what many of his compatriots do in times of personal and political crisis: He wrote a poem. Months of house arrest had left the celebrated lawyer enraged over his isolation and the autocratic, military-backed regime that ordered it. His hopes of a just and tolerant nation appeared to lie in ruins, and his disillusionment bled onto the page. We walked together singing the song of freedom A new dawn of freedom was about to break One push was required to demolish the old edifice But in fact we were straying apart and losing our dreams The poem was a private “cry against the system,” Ahsan said, one man’s lament on “the loneliness of being a dreamer in a world full of pragmatists and time-watchers and opportunists.” But his words soon reached the ears of millions of Pakistanis. When restrictions on Ahsan’s freedom were finally eased last month, television crews besieged him in his study and, one after another, beseeche

Pakistani Poetry - Masjid-e-Qurtaba by Allama Mohammad Iqbal

Islamic Spain (711-1492) Islamic Spain was a multi-cultural mix of the people of three great monotheistic religions: Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Although Christians and Jews lived under restrictions, for much of the time the three groups managed to get along together, and to some extent, to benefit from the presence of each other. It brought a degree of civilisation to Europe that matched the heights of the Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance. Outline In 711 Muslim forces invaded and in seven years conquered the Iberian peninsula. It became one of the great Muslim civilisations; reaching its summit with the Umayyad caliphate of Cordovain the tenth century. Muslim rule declined after that and ended in 1492 when Granada was conquered. The heartland of Muslim rule was Southern Spain or Andulusia. Periods Muslim Spain was not a single period, but a succession of different rules. The Dependent Emirate (711-756) The Independent Emirate (756-929) The Caliphate (929-1031) The Almoravid
