unable  to  accept

The Comparison

like  namal is  to  azar, hasan is  to  naver, in the  first  case  nama  is  sold  out  her true  companion is  discarded  for  a  life  of  riches

in the  second  naver  is  replaced  by  a  younger  and  more  attractive  person

Time Erases

man alone is not absolute faithless creature, for woman also is equally faithless, drawing a line in water with her stretched finger tip , the line erases quickly without leaving any traces, restrictions are usually imposed by those who dislike certain things in life , naver reflects

in seventeen years  all  had  changed  except  naver, afi  was  an  exact  replica  of  naver  of  seventeen years  earlier, who  was  excited  holding  crystal  bowls of  ice  cream, to  be  compared  to  naver  was  like  achieving  her  lifetime  award

Khidmet Ki Siffet--Khabarnama

Iblis was the most knowledgeable personality but what is knowledge without its use , the purpose is defeated if positive implementation is not progressively bringing about perfect results

By Shaerah Khalidah nasim page345

Let me tell you this-

I "ve learnt to live without you-

Vibrating colours in life have gone-

Dreaded shadows of gloom i drape-

Blossoms also prick me -

Completely make me avoid them-

Fountains of joy ignore me-

So found forbidden delight in the fall-

Pearl dewy strings moist in eyes-

Smiles decorating the lips-

Not just me that i mock-

I learnt to deceive the whole world

Doing one"s duty without any expectations from ungrateful others, no hope of being admired for the efforts put in by you, never being recognised for your support made sadaf break down before her friend when she visited her, who advises sadaf to keep on doing her duties , performing them was an act of godliness equal to goodness , she should change her attitude, expecting only from god for it is from the creator and not from the created that one ought to be tied up, she must carry on as before , instead of trying to please herself her focus must be on pleasing just one god , after all at the end its between Him and you , not between her and them,

Do Qadam Ka Faslah is a most suitably appropriate title to the story it does full justice to it, the fences of ego prevent one from crossing over the barriers set between the hatred zone of enimity and peace zone full of love, by the time one decides to take the first step it is too late , lingering feel of regret remains all his life pricking his conscience, humility is learnt not so easily , it takes ages
