Life Gets change

Life is getting change so frequently.


This time is not difficult, because I am personally not taking it difficult.


I know I have to go on and on, and I have to face everything, whatever will come on the way of my life, and whatever will be done.


I believe in Almighty ALLAH, and I have faith only on Almighty ALLAH.


I will be fine, because He is the only one who is mercy full.

He who walks towards Me, I rush towards him







[3. Surah Al-e-Imran : Ayah 104]












And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.
















He who walks towards Me, I rush towards him










































[Sahih Muslim : Book 35 Kitab Al-Dhikr, Number 6499]






Abu Dharr  (Radi Allah Anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) as saying that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, stated:
"He who comes with goodness, there are in store for him ten like those and even more than those: 'And he who comes with vice, ' it is only for that that he is called to account. I even forgive him (as I like) and he who draws close to Me by the span of a palm I draw close to him by the cubit, and he who draws close to Me by the cubit I draw close to him by the space (covered) by two hands, and he who walks towards Me I rush towards him, and he who meets Me in the state that his sins fill the earth, but not associating anything with Me, I would meet Him with the same (vastness) of pardon (on My behalf)."






My Lord! grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should do good such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, by Thy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.

Meer taqi meer

dekh to, dil ke jaan se uthta hai
ye dhuan sa kahan se uthta hai

gor diljale ki hai ye falak
shola ik subha yaan se uthta hai

khana e dil se zeenhara se na ja
koi aise makaan se uthta hai

--------------------------------------------
bikhre hai zulf, us rukh e aalam faroz par
varna, banaav hove na din aur raat ka

uske farog e husn se, jhamke hai sub main noor
sham- e- haram ho yaan ke diya Somnath ka

yoon uthe aah us gali se hum
jaise koi jahan se uthta hai

Yeh Bacha Kaisa Bacha Hay



Yeh Bacha Kaisa Bacha Hay
Jo Rait Pe Tanha Betha Hay

Na Iskay Pait Main Rooti Hay
Na Iskay Tan Per Kapra Hay

Na Iskay Sur Per Toopi Hay
Na Iskay Pair Main Joota Hay

Na Iskay Pas Khiloono Main Koi Bhaalo Hay Koi Ghoora Hay
Na Iska Dil Behlanay Ko Koi Loori Hay Koi Jhoola Hay

Na Iski Jaib Main Dhela Hay Na Iskay Haath Main Paisa Hay
Na Iskay Ammi Abbu Hain Na Iskay Appa Khala Hain

Yeh Sara Jag Main Tanha Hay
Yeh Bacha Kaisa Bacha Hay?

Yeh Duniya Kaise Duniya Hay?
Is Duniya K Kuch Takroon Main

Kahi Phool Khilay Kahi Sabza Hay
Kahi Badal Ghir Ghir Atay Hain

Kahi Chashma Hay Kahi Dariya Hay
Kahi Oonchay Mehal Aatariyaan Hain

Kahi Mehfil Hay Kahi Mela Hay
Kahi Kaproo K Bazaar Sajay

Kahi Kaproo K Bazaar Sajay
Kahi Doulat K Sandooq Bharay

Haan Tanba Soona Roopiya Hay
Tum Jo Maango Tu Haazir Hay

Tum Jo Chahao Su Milta Hay
Tum Jo Chahao Su Milta Hay

Yeh Duniya Kaise Duniya Hay
Yeh Bacha Kaisa Bacha Hay

To jahan rahy meri dua ki chaon ho

To jahan rahy meri dua ki chaon ho
Wo sher ho ya gaon ho

Teri ankh mein nami na ho

Kisi cheez ki kami na ho

Tujhy jo lagy wo nazar na ho

Kisi dukh ko teri kahbr na ho

Teri raha mein kos-e-kaza rahy

Tera hafiz hr pal Khuda rahy

Khushi tere paon ki dhool ho

Dua ye meri Qabool ho

GDrive One Step Closer to Reality

Ah, GDrive, the mythical, all-encompassing online storage solution that will practically render most of your hardware obsolete. At least that’s what the legend says; my bet is that it will be another free online storage service, just with more storage and less crap: just like Gmail was (compared to the competition) when it first came to be.

We’ll see who was right soon enough, because GDrive is now moving from “rumor” stage to “somewhat founded rumor” stage. A blogger found out references to something called GDrive in a piece of Google’s code.

The code snippet in question looks like this (important parts highlighted by me):
// Localized product category of GDrive
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_CATEGORY = ‘Online file backup and storage‘;
// Localized short description of GDrive (1st
// of 2 description lines)
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_DESCRIPTION_1 = ‘GDrive provides reliable storage for all of your files, including photos, music and documents’;
// Localized short description of GDrive (2nd
// of 2 description lines)
_CI_messages.CI_GDRIVE_DESCRIPTION_2 = ‘GDrive allows you to access your files from anywhere, anytime, and from any device - be it from your desktop, web browser or cellular phone‘;
