The Song Of A Pearl




Me a pearl, you an ocean

Living together forever

In your heart is my abode

In my shine is your reflection

You sustain me, and nourish me

I am your pride, your honor

Your surging bottom spreads

The aurora of Love to my shell

Buried inside its crust I move

Responding to your call of Love



Crossing every frontier and limit

When this Love reaches you and me

Blind is the world that is unable to feel

The warmth it brings to you and me

They question, and argue and complain

I feel sorry for their doubtful souls



Those who are unable to

Appreciate the wonders of Love

Nature excludes them from

It’s Art of Creation

Dry remains in their souls

The seeds of Conception



The Universe desires to witness

The limits of God’s best creation

From the bond of Love, learn

Your aim, your goal, your destiny

And reveal unto the Worlds

Your boundless bounds…!

    Sounds very much like some poems of Rabindranath,
    the great bengali poet.
    This thought of the finites and the infinity.
    Beautiful !

Collapsing Global Political trends - Are we in need of a new political system?

  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair" Charles Dickens; A Tale of two cities Capitol Hill under siege There is no better description of the current global socio-political scenario than these infamous words of Dickens.  After a year of pandemic and political incapacity to unanimously contain an emergency situation at the global center stage, the world is witnessing a dichotomy that has never been so evident before. In contrast to the Cold War era, when the world was divided into two distinct blocks with individuals from each of the block fighting and dying for their own political ideology, the current division is present deeper within the masses in respective countries. US elections 2020 revealed that this division is rampant with

Waves of sorrow and the fertile hearts!

The recent Monsoon season and the heavy rainfall we received poured some questions in the minds of many a people across Pakistan. In this post I would like to address three of such questions, according to my personal opinion, and would also like to know what you think about these questions. The questions are: ·          Why did a natural disaster as devastating as the recent floods hit us? ·          What can we at an individual and national level do for the relief of millions of people who are desperately looking towards us for help? And ·          In what way is the flood going to affect us, as a nation, in the long-term? Considering from different angles many different perspectives can be observed. Some believe that the ‘timely’ construction of large dams in the country could have helped storing water in the reservoirs, hence reducing the chances of floods. Others are of the opinion that as regular cleaning of the river channels in the Northern region of the country was not observ

قبر اور سیاست

سیاست اور قبر کا چولی دامن کا ساتھ ہے۔ کبھی سیاسی مخالفین کو قبر میں اتارا جاتا ہے (معنوی طور پر یا اشاراتی طور پر) تو کبھی نظریات قبر کا رخ اختیار کرتے ہیں۔ اور تو اور اکثر اوبیشتر یہ بھی دیکھنے میں آیا ہے کہ الیکشن مہم کے دوران جنہیں بریانی کی دیگ میں دفن کیا جاتا ہے انہیں وقت گزرنے پر بھوک اور افلاس کی کچی ٹوٹی قبر اپنے آغوش میں لے لیتی ہے۔ سیاست میں ایک اور قبر بھی موجود ہے جسے ضمیر بیچ کر یا مار کر حاصل کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ قبر خاصی سود مند ثابت ہوتی ہے کیونکہ مثل مشہور ہے کہ سیاست میں جذبات کا عمل دخل نہیں ہوتا۔ اس لیے مردہ دلوں کی اجتماعی قبریں ایسی ہی شاندار ہیں جیسے کہ تاج محل۔ ان سب قبروں میں ایک خاص الخاص قسم اس قبر کی ہے جس میں دادا یا نانا مرحوم (یا شہید) دفن ہوں۔ ایسی قبریں احرامِ مصر کی یاد دلاتی ہیں جن کی ہیبت اور مدفن خزانے صدیوں تک پرذوق افراد کی لیے کشش اور اگلی نسلوں کے لیے باعثِ روزگار ہوتے ہیں۔ ایسے سیاست دان جنہیں یہ قبریں نصیب ہوں وہ اپنے تیر و نشتر سے ملک کے دیگر اداروں، مثلاً قانون، دفاع اور خارجہ محاذ کو چھلنی کر کے رکھ دینے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں۔ اور یہ قبریں ان کی
