Khuda Hafiz Ifti Nasim

آج خوبصورت شاعر افتی نسیم خدا کو پیارے ہو گے، انااللہ وانا الیہ راجعون! --- اللہ پاک مغفرت فرمائیں۔ ایک دوست نے فیس بک پر دو شعر، شئیر کیے۔۔۔۔

بارشوں کے بعد ست رنگی دھنک آ جاے گی
کھل کے رو لو گے تو چہرے پر چمک آ جاے گی
آج بھی مجھ کو یہ لگتا ہے کہ اگلے موڑ پر
جس پہ اک پیلا مکان تھا وہ سڑک آ جاے گی

اپنے ایک انٹرویو میں نے کہا تھا کہ میرے قبر کی کتبے پر لکھ دینا، He lived

Zahoor's Short Stories book

Besides having many poets in the town, Kabirwala had only few short story writers.

Now, I have heard that Zahoor ul Haq's short stories book is in the process of publication. The book will be named "Sakoot", based on the leading afsana.

I can not tell you the exact date of publication, but can promise to share his latest Afsana "Kahani mujh sey rooth gaye hey" next week.

Family functions on YouTube

Can anyone in Kabirwala tell me what sort of lunatic will put his family function on YouTube? You have to be mentally retarded and emotionally unstable to the least to do such idiocy.

Has the town lost its creativity, and left social media in the hands of respect-mongers?

Where are you guys?
