BUDHEULI KO KABITA

Want to say two things. First, a sorta clarification about what I said about the old days of Sajha if this has offended anybody out here. (I hope I did not cause that new thread 'To old Sajhaites'!). I do miss the old days- the posters, those heated and point by point lengthy debates, humor serials and even those occasional bashings. However, I was not trying to belittle the new generation of the posters on Sajha. As a poster said, change is inevitable. That indeed goes without saying. Change is nature and it is perfectly fine. And it is also perfectly fine for the oldies to miss the good old days. So no complain on either side. The other thing I wanted to share is a liitle note for ghazal enthusiasts. The fourth sher (actually that should traditionally be called the third sher. The first and the last asara called matla and maqta respectively are not counted, I don�t know why), that I mentioned earlier was actually inspired by another very famous sher by Bahadur Shah Zafar, the king of tragedies and the last Mugal king of India. Umr-e-daraaz maang ke laaye they chaar din Do aarzoo mein kat gaye do intezaar mein (Deerghayu maagera lerayeko gotaa chaarek din, dotaa tirsanaa gardai bityo, dotaa kurdaa kurdai sakiyo.)
