اقبال تیرے دیس کا کیا حال سناوٰں
(امیر الاسلام ہاشمی)
دہقان تو مرکھپ گیا اب کس کو جگاوٰں
ملتا ہے کہاں خوشہٰ گندم کہ جلاوٰں
شاہین کا ہے گنبدشاہی پہ بسیرا

اقبال تیرے دیس کا کیا حال سناوٰں
ہر داڑھی میں تنکا ہے،ہر ایک آنکھ میں شہتیر

توحید کی تلوارسے [...]

آج کے بعد مملکتِ خداداد میں ہندو ہندو نہیں رہے گا۔ عیسائی عیسائی نہیں اور مسلمان مسلمان نہیں۔

“Maulana” Fazlul Rehman needs no introduction to Pakistanis. He appears as a religious scholar of sort however no one has witnessed this scholarship as yet. He is renowned more for his political jugglery.
Recently Maulana had a heart trouble and needed angioplasty. The operation was carried out successfully in a private hospital in Lahore by Dr Mubashar [...]
