Inna Lillahi wa inna alaihi raji'oon.

bohot afsos huwa, Allah Pak Arfa kay ghar walon ko sabar ataa farmaye aur usay Jannat may Aala muqaam naseeb karay, ameen.

Inna Lillahi wa Inna Alaihi Raji'oon.... Aj subh ye khabar sun k iss tara laga jaise dhartee phat gayee ha ya aasman toot parra ha. Khudara dil ko itni takleef pahonchii k na qabil e bayan ha. Baaz log dil ma ghar kar jate hain or phir onka bicharna mohal ban jata ha. Jab se ye khabar sunni ha arfa ki tasveer nazron se hatthee hee nahee ha... oska masoom chehra har wqt samne ajata ha.. Allah tala Arfa karim k waledain, azeezon rishatdaron or doston ko sabr e jameel ata farmaye... Suma Ameen!.......

Guzar to jayegee tere bagair b lekin
Boht odas bohat beqarar guzregee......
