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.

INTROSPECTION and REFLECTION - - -



It must resonate deeply with all of us Pakistanis, but especially those who perceive themselves as the Chosen Ones—the ones with influence.

In the days to come, we will confront the Allure of Profound JOY or be Consumed by the Overwhelming SORROWS stemming from our present actions. The true test unfolds in these tumultuous times...

In this very moment, the destiny of our endeavors hangs in the balance. Now is the time to decide whether we will stumble into obscurity, labeled as failures and slaves in the garbage bin of  history, or rise victorious as the proud sons of Pakistan on Glittering pages of History.

Hanging-On - A Must

(For Those Who Can See, Comprehend and Infer)


Today, at the Golf-Mates meeting following the game, we were graced by the presence of another esteemed guest. This led to a lively and engaging discussion prompted by recent events, which raised some thought-provoking questions:

  • What does history tell us about Nations that reached the Nadir due to the failures and incompetence of their leaders? Did they manage to retouch the Zenith?
  • If they did bounce back, was it due to the introspection and correction by the people themselves or their intransigence, arrogance and injustices merited the Divine intervention?
  • How long can the 'Perpetuity of Cycle of Doom and Gloom' continue indefinitely?

Here's my perspective:

Throughout history, we've witnessed nations rebounding from their lowest lows to achieve remarkable heights of glory.

As for redemption/intervention, it can be (have been) both sources: first from the actions of the people themselves, and if they don't ... and exhaust all avenues of redemption then definitely Divine Intervention comes into play (سیرو فی الارض).

Regarding ... 'Perpetuity', it, too, does not endure indefinitely. In every Phenomenon, Perpetuity is but an Illusion ... Negativity and Positivity, akin to Dusk and Dawn, constantly Shift and Overlap.


Grief possesses the Strength to OVERWHELM; while Pleasure has the Power to ENGULF. Yet, it is the Essence of Positivity that must Ultimately Prevail.


The Path of Woe cannot offer Clarity, as Insight becomes clouded by its Fog. Reflective Introspection can work Wonders ... 


There is no Eternal Bloom, just as there is no Enduring Gloom. 


The Law of Emotional Choice urges us to Acknowledge our Emotions, yet Refusing to be Ensnared by the Negative Ones.





پیوستہ رہ شجر سے اُمیدِ بہار رکھ


But it must be remembered by those WHO MATTER that to Hold onto the Hope of Spring, THE شجر MUST REMAIN, for Cutting it Down would Extinguish any Chance of Blossoming.

Rulers and the Rolled . .

Navigating through decades of hardship, helplessness, and misery, they placed their BLIND TRUST in you, only to be led astray into the Blind Treacherous Alleys of Deceit, Lies, Injustice, and Coercion. While carving their path towards despair, you overlooked their humanity, treating them as mere pawns in your self-serving schemes.







Now they FEEL Disregarded, Slighted, Taken For Granted, and Burdened by the Weight of your Actions, Shackled as if Slaves. Beware, they carry your deeds of disappointment upon their shoulders. 

You have squandered their TRUST, and your Significance in Their Lives has Dwindled.


TAKE HEED.


Maya Angelou had said:



"People may FORGET your Words,

They may FORGET your Deeds,

But they'll NEVER FORGET,

HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.”

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.
