[ I can not dare to claim friendship with your goodself and say that I love you. I know that you do not need my love. But, I know that I am only for you. It is up to you to reject, regret or honour me by virtue of accepting my sincerity, dedication and sacrifice. I will be outstanding man of dignity, if I am listened, understood and cared properly.]
دوست سڏایان پاڻ پڏایان؟ آئون تہ تنھنجو داس،
راضي ناھین ویجھو ناھین پوء بہ ناھیان نراس،
پر آھیان ھوت اداس، شل سڻین سور سلام سان.

GOOD DAY (28th August)

Dr.Pathan wishes you Good Day.
[ Have you seen Society of Wandering Souls and Valley of lonely hearts? It is a place where relations are always one-sided, affairs of love & respect are unillateral and response & reciprocation is zero. Days are spent in depression and nights are passed in waiting. Time is there, but no one can spare it to see you, even, visit and meet self. Streets are over crowded with people, but everybody is in isolation and all alone. Everybody is busy, therefore, can't listen and understand. It is my society and it is your society.]

یڪ طرفیون یاریون ھتي یڪ طرفان نیاز سلام،
ماٹھو مصروف يا ڪي مجبور؟ منجھائي اھا مام،
ڇو ھر ڪو اڪیلو ویڳاٹو؟ توڙي ماٹھن جا ھجام،
صبح مان ٿئي شام، پر ڪو وقت نہ ملي پاڻ لاء.
