Sab se aola wa aala hamara Nabi

Apne Moula ka pyara hamara Nabi
Dono aalam ka Dulha ha hamara Nabi

Bazme Aakhir ka Shama faroza huwa

Buj gayi jis ke aage sabhi mash’ale

Khalq se Awliya Awliya se Rusul
Aur Rasoolon se aala hamara Nabi

Jaise sab ka Khuda ek he waise hi
In ka un ka thumhara hamara Nabi

Kawn deta he dene ko muh chahiye
Dene waala he sacha hamara Nabi

Kya khabar kitne taare khile chhup gaye
Par na doobe na dooba hamara Nabi

Saare ooncho meh ooncha samajhye jise
Hai oos oonche se ooncha hamara Nabi

Ghum zadoh ko Raza muzda dije ke he
Be kason ka sahara hamara Nabi

The 22-year-old clocked 11.81 seconds to clinch gold medal in the race in theSouth Asian Federation (SAF) Games Sunday, becoming Pakistan’s first female athlete to win the sprint in the competition’s 26-year history.

She returned to Pakistan today with hundreds of fans greeting her at the airport. In the following photo Naseem Hameed is seen with her parents on her return to Pakistan.

Dawn reports her talking to press and saying:

“I had forgotten the world for six months and trained really very, very hard under my coach Maqsood Ahmed to achieve this. It is a great moment for me to have brought glory to the country in my event after the poor showing by our national cricket team and especially since our athletics standards have been poor of late. I hope my performance will inspire the young athletes to become professionals.”

I agree with her statement that this is one positive news for Pakistan in sports after the recent cricket debacle.

There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep too but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson.

The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn’t bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.

Moral of the story “One must not engage in duties other than his own”

Now take a new look at the same story…

The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night.. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey’s extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet.

The dog’s life didn’t change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dog’s duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed “ME” (Met Expectations) .

Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around.

The donkey was rated as “star performer”. The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards.

Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a NEW JOB … !!!!

Disclaimer: All characters in the story are not at all imaginary. Any resemblance to person living or dying of work is purely intentional

Audience was shocked. The speaker added: “that woman was my mother!”

(Laughter and Applause)

A listener tried it at his home. He said loudly to his wife, “The greatest
years of my life were spent in the arms of a very beautiful woman who was
not my Wife!”

Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second Half of the joke,
he finally said “…and I can’t remember who she was!” and he regained his consciousness in a hospital bed.

Moral: Don’t Copy if you can’t Paste!

Faith
How can there be unity of government between areas so widely separated? I can answer this question in one word. It is “faith” : faith in Almighty God, in ourselves and in our destiny.
(Broadcast to Australia, recorded on 9th February, 1948)

Parochialism
At this juncture any subordination of the larger interest of the State to the provincial or local or personal interest would be suicidal.
(Reply on the Quetta Municipality Civic Address, June 15, 1948)

Education First
When you have got that light of knowledge by means of education and when you have made yourselves strong economically and industrially, then you have got to prepared yourselves for your defence – defence against external aggression and to maintain internal security.
(Presidential address at the conference of the Punjab Muslim Students Federation, March 2, 1941.)

Inviting Aggression
THE weak and the defenceless, in this imperfect world, invite aggression from others.
(Address to Pakistan Navy, January 23, 1948)

Islamic Socialism
You are only voicing my sentiments and the sentiments of millions of Musalmans when you say that Pakistan should be based on sure foundations of social justice and Islamic socialism which emphasizes equality and brother-hood of man. Similarly you are voicing my thoughts in asking and aspiring for equal opportunities for all. Brother-hood, equality and fraternity of man – these are the basic points of our religion, culture and civilization. We fought for Pakistan because there was a danger of denial of these human rights in this sub-continent.
(Addressing to public reception, Chittagong, March 26, 1948).

Democracy in Islam
Democracy is in the blood of Musalmans who look upon complete equality of man.
(Speech at a London meeting, 14th December, 1946)

Golden Rules
It is my belief that our salvation lies in following the golden rules of conduct set for us by our great law-giver, the Prophet of Islam.
(Speech at Shahi Darbar, Sibi, February 14, 1948)

Civil Servants
Service is the back-bone of the State. Government are formed. Governments are defeated, Prime Ministers come and go, Ministers come and go, but you stay on, and therefore, there is a very great responsibility placed on your shoulders.
(Advice to civil officers, Peshawar, April 14, 1948)

Criticism
Prise your Government when it deserves, criticize your Government fearlessly when it deserves, but do not go on all the time attacking, indulging in destructive criticism, taking delight in running down the Ministry or the officials.
(Speech at Edwardes College, Peshawar 18th April, 1948)

Individual Conduct
IS one regular in one’s habits? Does one keep to the left of road or abstain from throwing litter on the road? Is one honest and sincere in one’s work? Does one render such help as one can to others? Is one tolerant? They may seem small matters but in them is the nucleus of self-discipline.
(Eid message November 1939)

Character
We have lost the fullness of our noble character. And what is character? Highest sense of honour and the highest sense of integrity, conviction, incorruptibility, readiness at time to efface one-self for the collective good of the nation.
(Speech at Muslim Legislators’ Convention, Delhi, 11th April, 1946)

Scouting Spirit
SELF advancement greed and lust for power sway the conduct of individuals as well as that of nation: if we are to build a safer, clearer and happier world let us start with the individual, catch him young and inculcate in him the Scout’s motto of service before self and purity in thought, word and deed.
(Speech to Boy Scouts, 22nd December, 1947)

We are thankful to Allah sabhanau-wa-ta’ala and congratulates all Pakistanis worldwide on this memorable day!

Professor: You are a Muslim, aren’t you, son?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So you believe in God?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor: Is God good?

Student : Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student : Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student :Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student : No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student : From…God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student :Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?

Student : No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student : No , sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student : No sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light….But if >you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?…..No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir.. The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

Amazingly true isnt it??????
