AKHTAR N JANJUA

Allah created humans from a male and a female and made into tribes and nations for identification. However the most righteous is the most honoured. No Arab has any superiority over a non-Arab nor is a White any way better than a Black. All created beings are the decendants of Adam and existence of Adam sprang from dust. hence all claims to superiority and greatness, all demands for blood or ransom and all false traits or trends of rule are false.

جو چپ رہے گی زبانِ خنجر ۔ ۔ ۔



In the vast expanse of our world, two entities stand unwavering, impervious to deceit.


Firstly, there is the SELF, that intimate realm within us, privy to our every action, every secret, and every spoken word. Here, there is no sanctuary for falsehood, for the SELF sees all, knows all. 


Secondly, there is the Divine presence of the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Seeing, Hearing, and Knowing Allah Almighty.

In the presence of such cosmic wisdom and omniscience, no deception can endure.


Though we may be tempted to indulge in lies, there is no refuge in falsehood, neither within Ourselves nor in the eyes of the Divine. To take an Oath while concealing the Truth is to commit the Greatest Transgression against both our Innermost Selves and the Divine Order of the Universe.

The Soundless Stick of Nature ...


History is replete with the dark chapters stained by the cruelty of human beings, where the powerful have wielded their brute force without restraint and in those harrowing times, innocence knew no protection ... age, gender, and creed no exception ...  unimaginable torment and suffering.


Yet, amidst the chaos and despair, there always exists a force greater than any wielded by man: the inexorable hand of Nature. When the scales of justice tip too far, when the cries of the oppressed echo too loudly, Nature intervenes, setting in motion a series of consequences that even the cruelest among us cannot fathom in our wildest dreams.



it is imperative to pause, to take a breath to introspect. For in the relentless pursuit of power and dominance, one may have knowingly or unknowingly crossed the boundaries of justice, decency and morality.    And when the flames of retribution would (certainly) lick the heels … the turn to experience the searing pain of justice by once mighty would have arrived ... Helpless realisation then in the face of Nature's wrath is of no use ... because ... there is no escape, no refuge to hide from the consequences of one's deeds.


Lets be reminded that ... wielding power recklessly, trampling upon the rights and dignity of others ... there is a price to be paid ... and it is Nature which collects the debt. 


"So heed the warning, before you become ensnared in the web of your own making, condemned to burn in the fires of your own creation."

وطن کی مٹی گواہ رہنا ۔۔۔

وطن کی مٹی گواہ رہنا ۔۔۔


کھای ہے قسم سب نے

حلف پابند کرتا ہے

لاکھ قیامتیں ٹوٹ پڑیں

وطن سے کبھی دغا نہ کرنا


وطن کی مٹی ماں برابر 

اس کی دھرتی مان ہے اپنا

علم اٹھاے آذادی کا 

آن پہ اس کی شان سے مرنا۔ 


کیسا یارو وقت ہے آیا

بدلے سب اصول یہاں پر 

ابلیسی کرتوتوں کو “فضلِ ربی” کہتے ہیں

بھول گئے ہیں “ جیسا کرنا ویسا بھرنا”


کیسے کیسے حاجی ہیں 

کتنے بڑے زوار ہیں بھیا

ڈوبتی نیا، اندھے کِھویا

“نہ جاے ماندن نہ پاے رفتن”

شرم و حیا کی چتا اٹھاے ۔۔۔ 

دوزخ پڑے گا سڑنا


وطن کی مٹی گواہ رہنا

تیرے جانثار بے شمار

بے قرار

تیری بے توقیری پہ افسردہ

اک دن توڑیں گے زنجیریں، 

تیرا مان نہ توڑیں گے

تیرے لیے جینا ان کا 

تیرے لیے ہے مرنا


وطن کی مٹی گواہ رہنا

Enact A Truce With The TRUTH …


When an individual chooses to speak the truth, it is imperative that he is met with respect and understanding, rather than ridicule or condemnation. Each person's truth is a reflection of his values, principles, and beliefs, and it should be treated with the seriousness and dignity it deserves.


In instances where someone, particularly a senior official, comes forward with allegations of wrongdoing, such as claiming that elections were rigged and he was complicit in the act, it is crucial that his assertions are not dismissed out of hand with clumsy alibis. Instead, an impartial inquiry should be conducted to thoroughly investigate the matter and discern the veracity of his claims.


Impartiality (Difficult ... not Impossible) is key in such investigations, ensuring that evidence is objectively examined and all implicated are given a fair opportunity to present their side of the story. This approach allows for a comprehensive understanding of the situation and enables the truth to emerge unobscured by bias or prejudice … and … then justice must be delivered to the accused or accuser, whosoever is found guilty.  


Furthermore, it is essential that individuals who speak out against injustice or corruption are protected from retaliation or coercion. They should be afforded the necessary support and safeguards to prevent any form of reprisal for their courage in coming forward with the truth.


Ultimately, upholding the integrity of truth-telling and fostering an environment where individuals feel empowered to speak out without fear of repercussion is vital for the preservation of accountability, transparency, and justice within society. 


Only through a commitment to honesty, fairness, and respect can we ensure that the voices of truth are heard and valued, leading to a more just and equitable society so desperately longed.

F-A-R-C-E



Bizarre 'first-timers' do happen but what is on the display is unbelievable; political parties crying hoarse, people; some bewildered, some mad and some going berserk. What Commissioner Pindi said has shocked all and sundry. Hurried horrid reaction is 'No Buy', inquiry, introspection and rational, impartial deep dig is THE WAY ... 

 

Fraud and manipulated elections sow the seeds of deep mistrust and undermine the very foundations of a democratic society. When the electoral process, intended to be a fair and transparent expression of the people's will, is tainted by dishonest practices and manipulation, the legitimacy of Trustees and Interstees comes into question. The repercussions extend beyond the immediate political landscape, eroding citizens' faith in their Institutions and diminishing the credibility of the democratic system itself. Such actions not only subvert the democratic ideals of representation and accountability but also risk fostering social unrest, as people grapple with the realization that their voices and choices may have been unjustly compromised. A commitment to free and fair elections is pivotal for maintaining the integrity of democratic governance and ensuring that the will of the people prevails.


When people lose faith in the fairness and authenticity of their votes, the social contract that underpins democratic governance begins to fray. The consequences ripple through society, impacting the collective sense of belonging and shared values. The aftermath of electoral malpractices usher in heightened polarization (seen after, 1977, 2013 and 18), increased civic disillusionment, and a weakened societal fabric. It is crucial to recognize that fair elections are not just a procedural formality; they are the cornerstone of a democratic society, reflecting the principles of equality, representation, and the fundamental right of citizens to freely express their will. 


Furthermore, embedded in the RIG are the far-reaching implications for the global standing of the nation. The international community closely observes the conduct of elections as a barometer of a country's commitment to democratic values and the rule of law. Instances of electoral malpractice can lead to strained diplomatic relations, sanctions, and a loss of credibility on the world stage. Beyond the geopolitical ramifications, the corrosive impact of compromised elections on citizens' faith in the democratic process endures, creating a fertile ground for disillusionment and apathy. To fortify the pillars of democracy, the electoral integrity must have the priority, fostering an environment where citizens can confidently exercise their democratic rights, secure in the knowledge that their voices truly shape the course of their nation's future ... Upholding the integrity of elections is not only a matter of political accountability but a safeguard for the very essence of democratic ideals.


AND IF THAT IS NOT THE WAY THEN IT IS ONLY  F-A-R-C-E.


F - Fraudulent

A - Altered

R - Rigged

C - Corrupted

E - Electoral System

Darkness of Despair Makes the Light of Hope Shine the Brightest ...

 


At the cross-roads we have been perpetually, reached Nadir, may be ... but ... In the face of adversity and turmoil, there lies an opportunity for transformation and renewal. When everything seems to have gone wrong, when the Leaders and Strong Men have faltered consistently, and when introspection and self-accountability have become a distant memory, we all need to step up to be counted rising above the chaos and reclaiming what is lost.


It may seem daunting, overwhelming even, to confront the deep-rooted issues that have plagued our beloved Pakistan. Intransigence, incompetence, no holds barred corruption, moral turpitude, prejudices and hatred have corroded the very fabric of society … But it is precisely in these Moments of Darkness that the Light of Hope can Shine the Brightest.


Recovery begins with a shift in mindset, a commitment to embracing positivity and resilience in the face of adversity. It is about recognizing that despite the challenges we face, we have the power to create positive change. Each one of us has the capacity to be a catalyst for transformation, to sow the seeds of progress, justice, transparency, competence, merit, compassion, empathy, and understanding.


Accountability ‘self and others’ must be restored, not only among our leaders but within ourselves as well. We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and honesty, refusing to succumb to the temptations of greed, deceit coercion and vindictiveness. By taking responsibility for our actions and holding others accountable for theirs, we can pave the way for a brighter future.


Forgiveness, too, plays a crucial role in the journey towards recovery. We must learn to let go of past grievances and resentments, to release the burden of anger and hatred that weighs us down. Only then can we move forward with a clear conscience and an open heart, ready to rebuild what has been broken.


But perhaps most importantly, we must never lose sight of the power of unity and solidarity. Together, we are stronger than any adversity we may face. By coming together, supporting one another with kindness and compassion, we can overcome even the greatest of challenges.


Let us rise, from the ashes of despair and disdain. 


Let us reclaim ourselves from the grip of corruption, coercion, intransigence, injustice, and incompetence.

 

Let us rebuild with integrity, accountability, and love as our guiding principles.

 

For in our collective strength lies the promise of a brighter tomorrow.

گردشِ ایام ۔ ۔ ۔

زمانے بدلے

پیمانے بدلے

اسلوب بدلے

اصول بدلے ۔۔۔





کیا لوگ تھے جو پرلوک سدھار گئے

بڑے لوگ ۔۔ بڑی باتیں ۔۔ 

امین ہوتے تھے  

عظمتوں کے

رفعتوں کے


دیانت، امانت، صداقت، شجاعت ۔۔ پہچان۔ 


حق کے لیے ذات کی نفی و پسپای  ان کے لیے ہمہ وقت آسان۔ 


صراطِ مستقیم ۔۔ ایمان۔ 


علم، حلم، برداشت، عفو و درگذر ۔۔ ایقان۔ 


خوفِ خدا، وفاءِ مصطفے ص ۔۔ ان کا مان۔ 


مقدور ہو تو خاک سے پوچھوں کہ اے لئیم ۔۔۔


اب ۔۔۔


ذات اور مفاد کے لیے، ایمان، شان، ایقان، پاکستان ۔۔ سب قربان۔ 


بد عنوانی، بد دیانتی، بزدلی، کذب بیانی، منافقت، مناقشت، ریا کاری، تملک ۔۔ نشان۔ 


جہالت ننگا ناچے

خباثت بھنگڑا ڈالے 


نفرتیں بوتے ہیں

کانٹے بکھیرتے ہیں


ڈھٹای کی انتہا

نہ شرم نہ حیا

جھوٹی شان، فرعونی انا

خیانت گھُٹی، ریاست چراگاہ ۔۔ 


اللھم انی اعوذ بک من شرِ نفسی و من شر کل شیطان مرید و من شر کل جبار عنید۔ 




پوسٹ سے لاتعلق حرفِ آخر ۔۔۔👇👇👇


“جو چھپانی تھی ہر کسی سے” وہ زمانہ کہہ رہا ہے

کہ فسانہ بن گئی ہے “شبِ اضطرار”چلتے چلتے


(کمال امروہوی اور کیفی اعظمی سے معذرت)
