[ Most of people terribly betrayed us because, we have betrayed ourselves . When we lost confidence in ourselves , people started imposing upon us their conflicts and contradictions. Such type of people are shadows without heart & soul. Unfortunately, we accept them as our dears, nears and ideals. We have been damaging our integrity, status and position. Therefore, we are lost. Let us search and find ourselves .Let us accept & respect ourselves as we can be respected & accepted by others.]
ڀلو بہ هئس پر مان ڀلجي پيس ويٺس پاڻ کي وساري,
ان لاء ويم ڄڙھ نڪري هدوء پسوء کي اجايو ساري,
نهاريم سڄي جهان ڏي سگهيس نہ پاڻ ڏي ڪو نهاري,
ان لاء ھر ڪو آزاري, تان جو آھيان سونھن ۽ سلام - ڌڻي.

GUL HAYAT INSTITUTE EXTENDS COOPERATION TO THE INSTITUTE OF SINDHOLOGY
My association and affiliation with Sindhology is older than my literary life. When it was situated in Old Campus at Hyderabad and was put on fire, I was shocked and that incident invited my attention. Later on Eminent Scholar and First Sindhi Ph.D degree holder, Dr.Ghulam Ali Allana very kindly gave me consent for being my Research Guide for Ph.D. In those days, Sindhology was working on the Compilation of a comprehensive Bibliography of Sindh Books. My Supervisor, who was In charge of Sindhology, asked me to survey libraries of Karachi and help in covering those libraries for the task. He was my promoter and asked me to write the Biography of Moulana Obedullah Sindhi for children, and I did it.
Saaeen Dr. Ghulam Ali Allana was replaced by Madam Mehtab Akbar Rashdi as In charge Director of the Institute of Sindhology. Keeping in mind my humble services in the field of research, she very kindly hired my services for Sindhology in capacity of its Deputy Director.

GOOD DAY (22nd September)

Dr. Pathan wishes you Good Day.
[ Dear! It is very tough task to live life without any relation, respnse and reciprocation of your goodself. But, there is no option left, except to be one-sided and unilateral. It has remained my bitter experience since centuries. Keep in mind that no one, but you are my ideal and second to none in beauty, vision & wisdom. There is no substitute for you. You will witness my endless efforts full of sincerity, trust and sacrifice for being near to you my dear. Sorrows & longings and your attitude & behavior can't discourage me in this regard]
تنهنجي رشتن رتبن قربن بن گهاري وڃبو,
تو بن دل-ڌڻئ جي حيثيت ۾ ٻيو نہ مڃبو,
ھن حياتئ جو ڏونگر ڏسجان ڏاري وڃبو,
تو لاء جاکوڙيندي جاني ڪو ٿڪ نہ ڀڃبو,
چاهت سان پيو چئبو, سر ڏئي سلام پرين.
