فکرِ غربت ہے نہ اندیشۂ تنہائی ہے
زندگی کتنے حوادث سے گزر آئی ہے
لوگ جس حال میں مرنے کی دعا کرتے ہیں
میں نے اس حال میں جینے کی قسم کھائی ہے
ہم نہ سقراط نہ منصور نہ عیسیٰ لیکن
جو بھی قاتل ہے ہمارا ہی تمنائی ہے
زندگی اور ہیں کتنے ترے چہرے یہ بتا
تجھ سے اک عمر کی حالانکہ شناسی ہے
When devotion speaks louder than facts. By writing fancy english in Dawn, one cannot become an intellectual or speaker of truth. Unearthing truth requires introspection - in your case a slightly deeper one.
The Mayor of Karachi @murtazawahab1 has done a truly remarkable job. His hard work and commitment have given a complex city like Karachi the momentum that it needed to reach its full potential. I will be hoping (and voting) for him to serve another term. More power to him.
@nadeemhaque Effective local government can bridge the missing link in reach good governance. However, vested interests of major stakeholders are erecting hurdles in its way.
@JahnviKapoor_FC Where were Jhanvi when innocent children were targeted with Pellet guns by the Indian Army. Where were your condemnation when Amnesty Internation published reports of forced displacements, mass rapes and violation of basic human rights in Kashmir. SURELY, YOU DID NOT MISS IT.

“I do the wrong and first begin to brawl.
The secret mischiefs that I set abroach
I lay unto the grievous charge of others…
And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With odd old ends stol’n forth of Holy Writ,
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.
-- Shakespear.
@EmmanuelMacron What did he said in reply ? When will France adopt the same standards for governing its relations with US and Israel ? Isn't it duplicity for you to look at one side of the story and conduct yourself accordingly ? Where is the standardise morality set forth by the West ?
Day by day, I fade,
Losing the charm,
Lapsing into nothingness,
Detesting myself,
Holding myself in dock,
For failing time and again,
Am I responsible ?
Or Is it the Scriber ?
Who should I go to
And tell the tale of exhausted life.
