آہ کو چاہیے اِک عمر اثر ہونے تک
کون جیتا ہے تیری زلف کے سر ہونے تک

عاشقی صبر طلب اور تمنا بیتاب
دل کا کیا رنگ کروں خونِ جگر ہونے تک

ہم نے مانا کہ تغافل نہ کرو گے لیکن
خاک ہو جائیں گے ہم تم کو خبر ہونے تک

یک نظر بیش نہیں فرصتِ ہستی غافل
گرمئ بزم ہے اک رقصِ شرر ہونے تک

غمِ ہستی کا اسد کس سے ہو جز مرگ علاج
شمع ہر رنگ میں جلتی ہے سحر ہونے تک

(Ghalib)

عشق مجھ کو نہیں وحشت ہی سہی
میری وحشت تیری شہرت ہی سہی

ہم بھی دشمن تو نہیں ہیں اپنے
غیر کو تجھ سے محبت ہی سہی

اپی ہستی ہی سے ہو، جو کچھ ہو
آگہی گر نہیں غفلت ہی سہی

ہم کوئ ترکِ وفا کرتے ہیں
نہ سہی عشق مصیبت ہی سہی

کچھ تو دے اے فلکِ نا انصاف
آہ و فریاد کی رخصت ہی سہی

(Ghalib)

Dream: Roam All Around Pakistan

I am having this dream for quite some time now: to wander all around pakistan once before getting married:)

And I hope to turn this dream into reality any time now. These days I am planning for it. Getting things done, finishing client projects, and buying necessary stuff. It will be quite an experience. I have got a special domain ready to post pictures, videos, and text about the places where I will stay/pass through out this tour.

I gave not decided by what mean I will be traveling. What about a motorcycle?

I dont think any of my friends will be ready to go with me. So most probably I will be alone. Lets see. I will keep you updated!

My First Day at Hospital

Finally, they had me!

For the first time in my life, I was in a hospital. It was quite an experience for a person like me who has never been there, believes in human adaptability & natural healing and is quite lazy too :)

The hospital was all fine and not at all like what I had imagined and read in newspapers. But I didn’t quite like it. I didn’t like the need to get checked. I hated it.

I was having lowgrade fever every other month. And some people said it might be something serious. So I was there to get tested for anything other than fever. I don’t even understand the names and effects of those disease! They have taken half a syringe of my blood. Will be applying some chemistry over them to tell me what chemicals (they call it medicine) I need to take.

I was thinking if it turns out to be serious, then… I don’t want to die :)
