My Poetry, my Message

Dr. Pathan
[Who are you? Are you Self or shadow of interests? If you have not decided and determined your position, then you can be used, even misused and purchased. You are neither joke nor Hunting Bird in hands of others. Be, what you are. To me, you are beauty & love and vision & wisdom] 
دل جو دلبر یا دنیا جو، ڪرین پیڇو یا آھین پاڇو؟
ڪوہ ڪرین ۽ ڪنھن لاء، پیار ۽ پاڻ سان ھئ تماشو؟
باز برہ جو یا تون باشو؟مارین پر نہ سارین سلام سان

GOOD DAY (25th August)

Dr.Pathan wishes you Good Day.
[ Is there any Social critic to tell us that what has happened to hearts & minds of people of my society? Why everybody believes and behaves that he/she is the only Beautiful and wisest in the world? Why people are bent upon not to spare anybody and lead & guide everybody, and not to assist or serve? Why people are following hatred and discrimination religiously? If we are not good individuals, how we can be a good nation? ]
حسن عقل ۾ ھرڪو ھاڪارو، مٿان مسھپ گھٹي معتبري،
خدمت نہ ڪا ڪن خلق جي، چون ڪبي فقط قیادت رھبري،
ھلن نہ قبولي ڪنهن جي ھمسري، جي ھلجي سرت سلام سان.‏‎ ‎
