Inkar karne par chahat ka ikraar kyon hai,
Use pana nahi meri taqdeer mein shayad,
Phir har mod pe usi ka intezar kyon hai
Kisi na kisi pe kisiko aetbaar ho jata hai,
ajnabi koi shaks yaar ho jata hai.
khubiyon se nahi hoti mohabbat bhi sadaa,
khamiyon se bhi kabhi pyar ho jata hai.
daulat hai mujhko zindagi se pyari,
daulat ke liye kar dun kurbaan yari,
daulat ke liye tod dun dosti tumhari,
ab tumse kya chupana dost tum hi to ho daulat humari.
hasarat hai to sirf usse paane ki,
aur koi khwasish nahi iss deewane ki,
shikwa muje usse nahi khuda se hai,
kya zarurat this mujhe usse milane ki
Dear banta
Vahe Guru !
I am in a well here and hoping you are in the same well there. I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.
I wont be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to bring our earlier address plate here, so that our address will remain same too.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the commode. I'm not sure it works. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.
The weather here isn't too bad.. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.
The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.
Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.
By the way I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is really badmash. He told her that two-piece swimming suit is not allowed in this club. We were confused as to which piece should we remove?
Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.
Your uncle, Jetinder fell in a nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Your best friend, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's last wishes. His father had wished to be buried at sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father.
There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.
P.S: Beta, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.
Kanta na hota, toh
phool ki hefazath na hoti,
Andhera na hota,to
roshini ki zarurath na hoti,
Agar mil jati har khushi duniya me,
Toh dil ki mulaqath dard se na hoti
