GOOD DAY

Dr. Pathan wishes you Good Day.
[ Me and my eyes never love dreams. We believe in reality. Hence, we can't sleep. You are reality, you are beauty and you are peace. Therefore, me and my eyes want to see you and we both are waiting for this with hope since centuries. You are listening and understanding our prays, but don't desire to accept, response and reciprocate for no any reason and justification. Perhaps, it may be ego, hatred or discrimination. May be it is because of fear or pressure of out-dated values and traditions. But, I am not disappointed at all. Because, you are second to none not only in beauty, but in kindness and greatness.]
خوابن بدران توکي ڏسڻ چاهين اکيون ان لاء سدا اوجاڳيل آهين,
تنهنجي دل جي دروازي سواء سي ڪوئي ٻيو در نہ واجهائين,
نازيلا او نخريلا ڏس ڏي هي دل ۽ اکيون توکي ڪيئن پرچائين؟
اهي آسرو نہ ٿيون لاهين, تنهنجي سونهن سرت ۽ سلام مان.
