“A thousand days of shadows”

In the realm of life's journey, I once believed caste and tribe were insignificant,

Yet as days flowed by, I discerned their weight, the significance of shared blood.

Even amongst adversaries, royal lineage holds sway, a truth I now embrace.

It's acceptable to drift from friends with whom we once shared a profound bond,

But intertwining families in lost friendships leaves a bitter stain on the heart.

Life's tutelage has unveiled countless truths, and I rejoice in seeing souls unmasked,

I tread among the outspoken and forthright, but guard against silent minds concealing malevolence.

For years, I dwelled with one who harbored intense enmity, cloaked in personal jealousy,

Through the tempest of emotions, I learn and grow, resolving to avoid the double-faced.

 I yearn for the moments invested in people, the time and aid generously given,

Yet, some proved undeserving of such care, and their absence leaves a void.

Beware of families proclaiming wealth and noble lineage, while their riches are but a facade,

Finally, after a thousand days in darkness, I awaken to newfound awareness.

Mr. Justice Iqbal Hameed Ur Rehman "The Royal Blood"

What a momentous day, etched with profound honor, to bear witness to a chapter unfolding in the annals of history. On Thursday, 1st June 2023, a man of exceptional courage and fortitude solemnly took his oath within the ceremonial hall of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Within those very walls that had previously witnessed his resignation, he now embraced the weighty responsibility before him. In his unwavering commitment to upholding the faith of the people and preserving his personal integrity, he willingly relinquished all the privileges rightfully due to him, as he remained under inquiry. An inquiry that, curiously, faded into obscurity. None can deny the undeniable truth that his legacy sprouted from Bengal, with a profound role in the formation of Pakistan—a fervent patriot who chose to settle in our beloved nation, leaving his ancestral roots in India. A man of unwavering conviction who adamantly refused to take the oath under the Provisional Constitutional Order- 2007. A man ent

Once upon a time

Image
Upon my stair wall, pictures once adorned, Now gone, like you, from life you have been shorn. Insecurity veiled your every gaze, But too late, I learned your artful ways. A reflection, too dim to apprehend, I wish I'd known you better, my dear friend. Insecurities, pretense, and disguise, With hollow smiles, you covered your lies. Yet, from this chapter, I find release, A gallery devoid of your caprice. For in the void, a truth blooms anew, Without you, I rediscover what is true.

To the lost bonds

To the one who once in friendship stood so near, Now causing harm, my heart is filled with fear, I hope you find new bonds with those who spurned, In the days of learning, lessons harshly earned. Oh, dearest companion, gentle as the night, Now casting shadows, concealing your true light, Through the years, a mask you chose to wear, Leaving me amazed, in your false glare. To all acquaintances, a message I convey, Opportunities missed to lead a brighter way, Fear held your tongues, from the path you swerved, May you never taste the pain your actions served. Let forgiveness mend what's torn asunder, Hoping for redemption, a shared, brighter morn, Where kindness and truth are reborn.
