Hum sab zah-naseeb, aapka shukriya farmate hai, humse aapki shayari ka aanta baanta karne ke liye! :D We thank you for sharing your poetry and pieces of your rich life with us lucky ones! I read it once and heard it twice. No disregard to translator extraordinaire Farjad, but I am sure he'd agree wholeheartedly, Urdu just hits different!
