IMAGINE THERE'S NO HEAVEN

                        People thirst for heaven has lad this world to edge of hell.

          Nothing has threaten human survival on Earth more than religious extremism, when I visualize situation of Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Sudan, Kongo, Somalia, Mali, DRC, & Libya these days, I find religious extremism the only reason of that, some may question my thinking here, and consider USA responsible for this mess, For them (Who're questioning my thoughts) I want to say that I consider her "War on Terror" as "War on Muslims".
         I came across this song few days earlier, and suggest these philosophical lines cure of today's world's problem.
Imagine there's no heaven 
It's easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace...


You may say I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one 
I hope someday you'll join us 
And the world will be as one


Imagine no possessions 
I wonder if you can 
No need for greed or hunger 
A brotherhood of man 
Imagine all the people 
Sharing all the world...


You may say I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one 
I hope someday you'll join us 
And the world will live as one.

Khabaram raseeda imshab (Tonight there came a news)

The very first time I heard Persian song few years back in my friends wedding concert, i fell in sever love with this language, Persian is a very poetic, soft and song-like language and has been described as one of the most beautiful languages of the world, though Persian is to some minor extent being thought here in Pakistan and being spoken here, but still not familiar to be speak by everyone. Apart from all this it makes you feel happy and energetic when it comes to Persian being sung by Fareed Ayaz renowned for his Qawali. Surfing through a Vimeo a week ago i found this song of Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad sung in Coke studio session 5. A week has passed since i heard this song very first time, but not a single day has passed in the entire week that i missed watching this clip of him. Khabaram raseed imshab ki nigaar khuahi aamad; Sar-e man fidaa-e raah-e ki sawaar khuahi aamad. Ham-e aahwan-e sehra sar-e khud nihada bar kaf; Ba-umeed aanki rozi bashikaar khuahi aamad

RIP Habib Mohebian

I just found that one of great Persian singer and song writer Habib Mohebian, commonly known as Habib has passed away, the news of his demise has been shared by his fellow singer Ebi on Facebook. May his soul rest in eternal peace, at these sad moments I want to extend my condolences to his family and fans around the world. I would love to give tributes to him by sharing one of my all time favourite song of him. من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم تنهاو غمگین رفته ام دل از همه گسسته ام تنهای تنها،غمگین و رسوا تنها و بی فردا منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم از شهر تو منرفته ام کوله بارمرا بسته ام بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم

Ramadan, Islam's Holiest Month...

Image
The days of holy month drew on that quickly that those who feared of long duration and difficulties of fasting just before starting of month are now pleased enough of God blessings upon them.  Just like last year when people started observing fasts from mid July to mid August, they extended further to the harsher days of summer from early July to early August as their fasting days this time. They feared then and they feared Now, questioning their abilities of fasting in these harsh summer`s days. To our belief God blessing are upon all those who fast in the holy month of Ramadan, but we fear of hardships of fasting beside our belief of what God has promised (doubting the blessing and mercy of God). For instance think of spending a whole long day of July without consuming a drop of water, toughest job of its kind.  But we did it, living in tropical and sub tropical environment such as that found in Pakistan where the temperature in July often exceeds 50 Degree Celsi
