“Take my ring, in‘valuable’ in the morning breeze”
His fingers lingered on the rusty silsil
He would take his sesame heart and let her eclipse.

I like to be traditional and conventional; I don’t know why I think, this is the reason why I like the history of my ancestors, Muslims and my nations. I feel pride in our traditions, cultures, and customs. My topic could be summarised in two proverbs:.
(i) Old is Gold.
(ii) All glitters are not gold.
What to do in sorrow and lonely moments?

Happiness could have missed any person in this world, but sorrows are the enemies of man in world. Shahid Zaki, a good poet with good thinking (also my English teacher at Leadership College – although I have not taken his class a single day because of not attending the college and studying at home) said,
دشمن سے کیا بچائیں گی یہ جھاڑیاں مجھے
بچتے نہیں یہاں تو پیمبر شجر کے بیچ
Today’s diary is dedicated to the sorrows and troubles of Atia Rafique, daughter of Baji Raja. She was talking with me tonight between 11 p.m. (9th Mar) and 1 a.m. (10th Mar). Although I told her to pray and pray with Wasila (وسیلہ) and read Durood Sharif (درود شریف), but the two things I focused on were the ‘hope’ and the ‘pure feeling’ of 2 seconds. I don’t know whether I am right or wrong but I am stating my observations of life. Please read the first page of the diary and the topic ‘Rhythms of Life’ before reading this topic
I have felt several times in my life that Allah always listens you whether you are carrying the mountain of sins [on your head] but with pure feelings of 2 seconds. These 2 seconds changes the life. This feeling can result in the answer of Allah before a second.
Sin and Repentance

After fifteen years of birth, I opened my eyes. My family saved me fifteen years from the cruel world,
then I went into the hands
of my friends.
Yet Allah was watching me; up from the sky.
Beyond skies, stars, galaxies, heavens, Allah wanted to save me.
For I was flowing with my friends in the river which leads to the dark burning cold ocean.
My Lahore Trip–Iqbal Museum
Assalamo Alaikom.
Some times, I am lazy. Other times, I just focus on one subject and leave all other things behind. Both of these cases give birth to the third case when I forget that I’d ever started anything.
So, today, we are not going to the Museum (as promised in last episode). Today, we are going to Iqbal Museum (which was a shorter visit). Then, we’ll go to the tombs of Mughal Emperors.
