Thanks to all for the well-wishes and blessings

Since this morning - I have been getting many messages containing happy birthday greetings, well-wishes, and prayers, from dozens of my students and many other well-wishers. 

I thought I would thank everyone through this blog collectively.

On the one hand, a feeling of happiness - along with thanks and gratitude for everyone arises in my mind.

And at the same time, the idea also comes to my mind that all of us often celebrate an event that happened so many years ago - but we hardly think about or pay any attention to an equally important event of the future.

As I wrote in yesterday's blog - ​It's better to look ahead and prepare than to look back.

I also remembered this verse written by Sahir Ludhyanvi:

Mai pal do pal ka shaayar hoon - Pal do pal meri kahaani hai

Pal do pal meri hasti hai - Pal do pal meri jawaani hai 

Mujh say pehlay kitnay shaayar aaye aur aa kar chalay gaye

Kuchh aahen bhar kar laut gaye kuchh nagmay gaa kar chalay gaye

Vo bhee ik pal ka kissaa thay main bhee ik pal ka kissaa hoon 

Kal tum say judaa ho jaoongaa - go aaj tumharaa hissaa hoon          

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But then - another thought comes to mind.

Each person leaves his mark - his thoughts, ideology, and Sanskar in his children and loved ones by natural process.

Whether they want it or not - knowingly or unknowingly - some thoughts, views, ideas, and principles of the previous generation continue in the new generation.

We will be gone one day, but our thoughts and values ​​will survive through our children and loved ones - through our supporters and followers.

Our ideas, beliefs, and principles will live on in them even after we are gone.

       Ik phool mein tera roop basaa - ik phool mein meri jawaani hai 

       Ik chehraa teri nishaani hai, ik cheharaa meri nishaani hai 

      Mai har ik pal ka shaayar hoon, har ik pal meri kahaani hai 

      Har ik pal meri hasti hai, har ik pal meri javaani hai 

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

               For the Blog readers and other well-wishers

I am glad that I was able to pass on some of my thoughts to others - 

and I am grateful to all those who graciously welcomed my views and helped to improve them.

Just as Sahir Sahib said:

Pal do pal main kuchh keh paaya itni hee sa'aadat kaafi hai 

Pal do pal tum nay mujh ko suna itni hee inaayat kaafi hai 

Kal aur aayengay nagmon kee khilti kaliyaan chunanay waalay 

Mujh say behtar kehnay waalay, tum say behtar sunanay waalay

Har nasal ik fasal hai dharti kee aaj ugati hai kal katati hai 

Jeevan vo mehangi madiraa hai jo qataraa qataraa batatee hai 

Saagar say ubhari lehar hoon mai saagar mein phir kho jaoonga

Mittee kee rooh ka paseenaa hoon phir mittee mein so jaoonga 

Kal koyi mujh ko yaad karay - kyon koyi mujh ko yaad karay

Masroof zamaana meray liye kyon vaqt apnaa barbaad karay

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rishton ka roop badaltaa hai, buniyaaden khatm nahin hoteen

Khwaabon aur umangon kee miyaaden khatm nahin hoteen 

Ik phool mein tera roop basaa - ik phool mein meri jawaani hai 

Ik chehraa teri nishaani hai, ik cheharaa meri nishaani hai 

Tujh ko mujh ko jeevan amrit ab in haathon say peena hai 

In kee dhadakan mein basnaa hai, in kee saanson mein jeena hai 

Tu apni adaayen bakhsh inhen, main apni vafaayen detaa hoon 

Jo apnay liye sochee thin kabhee, vo saari duaayen deta hoon 

 "Mai har ik pal ka shaayar hoon, har ik pal meri kahaani hai 

Har ik pal meri hasti hai, har ik pal meri javaani hai 

                           (Nazm by Sahir Ludhyanvi)
