ustaad

...the first lesson  looked the Mauldin seriously at them both,  zahid  not apparently paying much attention  the other  fully focused  listened..never ever  trust a criminal  whether hardcore or beginner 

Was there any difference between  the types of criminals  asked zahid scornfully

The Mauldin sahib  glared at him, the other  dug his elbow  into his ribs that hurt him  and doubling with pain a dirty abuse escaped from his lips 

Zahud was stubborn   his bad habits known to his friends 

Of course  there was  a classic difference between  the new criminal  who  could sometimes   give in to his feelings of kindness,  the hardcore never showed sympathy and was ruthless  , devoid of all human sentiments,  Mauldin sahib  like  a sage  explained   his  point,  both students  nodded  , maulvi sahib was a most interesting character,  he was the only one in the jail  with whom the two of them got along,  both were  imprisoned for three years  and  the maulvi sahib  was  spending his nineth year, his real name was   replaced by the title maulvi by the other two inmates  because of his long beard , he was regular five times a day  namaz  practitioner,  unlike other prisoners he didn't spend time  humiliating others but kept  to himself,  when these two  entered the prison  maulvi  s solitude  was removed,  one would listen to him attentively  and the other zahid couldn't escape and had no other option
