With time, everything changes and so is the loyalty. In Pakistan, you have to be loyal with the present and not with the past. Else, you will be like this ANP worker...

Tann Dolay - Noori (Lyrics)

Tann dolay jab baar baar baar
dil bolay ab aar hai ya paar
jo nahin janey woh sun le mere yaar
ab maano nahi haar
yahi to teri apni hai zameen
kyun na de gi ab tujh ko yeh qaraar
jo nahi jaaney woh sun ley merey yaar
ab mano nahi haar

Ab chahay dil mera sach bolna
tham jaey zindagi na dolna
maa meri maa mujh ko na chorna
mitt jaye bandagi, par haar kar ab tu kyun jeeyay
beet jayay zindagi, par dil tera kyun jaagey na
teri naiyya hai us paar

Tann dolay jab baar baar baar
dil bolay ab aar hai ya paar
jo nahin janey woh sun le mere yaar
ab maano nahi haar
yahi to teri apni hai zameen
kyun na de gi ab tujh ko yeh qaraar
jo nahi jaaney woh sun ley merey yaar
ab mano nahi haar

Lagey tere aas jab tootna
dhall jaye gham tum na bhoolna
ghoom jaye tu kahin to raahon ka pata tu dhoonday
chup jaye har khushi par aarzoo tu choray
na tera rona hai bekaar

Tann dolay jab baar baar baar

Ab nahi tham sakey woh toofaan jo jaga tayray maan may
ab nahi mar sakey teree dhal hai ab tera eeman

Moomal Rano - Fakir Juman Shah (Lyrics Translation)

With love, all unalloyed, is dight
Yogi entirely-
Like image at rising sun
he flutters, he Kak, where with delight
virgins enlivened him.

The yogi looks like sun so fair,
when scaling morning-skies
Such sweet entrancing fragrance pours
from out his silken hair;
Show us the land, where fragrance rare
O yogi you obtained!

O loin-clothed, one, let us know,
the way you virgins met
Why from your eyes continuously
the tears of blood do flow?
O Sami! on us light bestow
of beauty that you found!

"Go, go, to waters of Kak go
where love is made, they say;
Where there is neither night nor day
all shall Beloved see!

Resplendent diamondss gleam within
Magnetic Mumal's eyes...
Common or uncommon, who tries
to see these eyes, is slain.

O camel, for such enterprise
master bred you with care;
With vigilance cross over now
to where Ludhana lies;
Mumal we have to face this eve,
or when the sun doth rise;
With her consent on Kak's supplies
of blossoms you may browse.-

Beautiful like the roses sweet
are robes of damsels fair...
In Jasmin-fragrant coiffuers they
have piled their long, fine hair.
From Beauty so entrancing, love
is kindled everywhere;
Wondrous show, damsels spinning there
on-lookers dumb-struck gaze.

Like fresh pan-leaves are shawls they wear
of shimmering emerald silk-
Their bodies all refreshed with atter
and ambergris rare;
From fullsome platis sandle and musk
perfume all round the air;
And delicate ears, dainty ware
of glistening gold do hold-
Today Mumal's in glorious from
rejoicing, free from care;
Because Rano without compare,
her fiansee hath become!...

Mumal had wounded many, lo
she's wounded now instead-
A pointed arrow struck her head
from knightly Rano's bow.-

Although Rano not destined is
Mumal to be with thee-
This will be clear from Rano's love...
still not resentful be,
Weep not, but bear it patiently,
Be true to kinship new.

Kak could not hold those wanderers
Castles not tempt their mind...
No maid or mistresses their hearts
with magic strings could bind
For e'er Lahutis left behind
myraids of maids as these.-

Kak could not hold those wanderers
for wealth they did not care,-
It was by men of such a mould
royal virgins wounded were-
Lahutis they could not ensnare
with all their coquetry.

They passed Kak at the corner, long
that corner turned have they...
To those who are now far away
what shall some 'Natir' do?

Ludhana is a hell mere
without Beloved mine;
Friends, Rano took offence last night
and left me torture here...
And Kak to me is poison sheer
the moment he is gone.

O Rano, hardly had you come,
you turned and went away
But were you not my spouse? why not
to wake me did you stay?
Then soon you would have known who lay
beside me on the bed.

Whole night my lamp did burn, but see
the dawn is breaking now;
Rano without thee I shall die-
In God's name come to me
Oh-all the crows of Kak to thee
as messenger I sent.-

I trimmed the wick, again, again,
oil is consumed at last
Stranger-beloved, do return
riding a camel fast;
Weeping for Rano, night is past,
the whole of night I wept.

Orion stands above my head;
pleiades have declined...
The time is past...he did not come
Rano, for whom I pined-
Fie on cursed night, without my love
it passed, and left me woe-confined-
To give me hell, he did not mind
now rests he in his dhat.-

Rano, I weep when I behold
the empty places here
Dust settled on beds and divans
so drab looks all and cold;
Unused by master pillows lie,
and nought but dust they hold-
Without you, trees and flowers fade
and never more unfold...
Who would bear my freaks mainfold
but my Mendharo dear?

Continuously I watch your way,
mine eyes are at the door-
May you come back to me Rano,
I heaven do implore;
You hold my life, else many more
of Rano's world contains.

I did not realize my sweet,
the faults I did commit;
They now recoil on me, and hit
me justly in the face.

't was by your patience, I became
a human being dear-
't was through a whim of mine, my name,
myself, you came to know.

If Mendharo to my own house
would come as guest, to stay with me-
To flames I'd give self-consciousness
my knowledge and my ancestry;
Pride egoism I would throw
Into the stove, most certainly
My sacrifice for loved-one be
the home, parents, myself.

Who with a lion doth ally
herself, must steady be-
Affectionate and vigilant
In Rano's wake do lie-
O Mumal, not like rain do pour
On all that you come by...
When resurrection day is nigh
you will of Rano think.

Go straight ahead, and look not back
nor turn this side or that,
Or else, a temple-turning smack
unwar'ly you receive.

A messenger! in haste he is
By he is sent;
With promise: "one you love will reach
Ludhana for your bliss;
The speedy camel will not miss
to enter Kak at Dawn."

A message great and new arrived
from Mendharo last night;
We have received a gift divine,
from Giver of all light-
"Ask not for caste-all we invite
all are accepted here."

Where need I drive the camel? when
Glory all round is beaming?
Kak in my being doth radiate,
In me's Ludhano gleaming;
Of Rano sweet my soul is dreaming
there is none else but 'He'.-

Where need one drive the camel? when
great radiance reigns all round?
In my being is Kak...in me
gardens and springs abound;
There is no other voice or sound
But all is 'Mendharo'.

LYRICS


You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
And back in the saddle

You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isnt over

The pressure is on
You feel it
But you've got it all
Believe it

When you fall get up
Oh oh...
And if you fall get up
Oh oh...

Tsamina mina
Zangalewa
Cuz this is Africa

Tsamina mina eh eh

Your time to shine
Dont wait in line
Y vamos por Todo

People are raising
Their Expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitations

Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
Believe it

If you get down
Get up Oh oh...
When you get down
Get up eh eh...

Learn English to Copulate in UK

Robert Penn Warren once said,“Storytelling and copulation are the two chief forms of amusement in the South. They're inexpensive and easy to procure.” Alas!! new UK government is prohibiting people to enjoy this inexpensive exercise.

A new legislation is in the process of making which will deny entry to people from outside the EU who marry British citizens but don’t speak English. This new law requires a command of English to the level “of a five- to seven-year-old”.

The rules will apply to spouses, fiancées and unmarried couples who already live in Britain as well as new applicants.

So, people from Asian region (Pakistan, Bangladesh and India) are now going to learn English first to go ahead with lying in bed with the soul mate. Speaking the language of the country that you live in is not a bad thing to do. But making it compulsory to actually stop people from coming over to Britain due to language barrier is disgraceful. People can learn there, People Can!!

Daniel Trilling wrote, "Of the 900,000 Britons who live in Spain, how many speak reasonable Spanish? Do all of the 500,000 British people living in France speak French to “the level of a five- to seven-year-old”? Perhaps many of them simply follow the time-honoured tradition of Brits abroad by going red-faced in the sun as they slowly repeat “WHERE-IS-THE-NEAREST-TOILET” in increasingly loud and exasperated tones."

In the end, I do wonder though that "Were they offended by the Kamasutra offered first in Native language or what?"

Pakistan Electricity Production Capacity - Real Facts

Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources.

1). Hydal
2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)
3). Nuclear

CHASNUPP-1                                                            325  MW
Total (Nuclear)                                          ===>   462  MW
  
Hydal Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of 2414 MW and maximum of 6761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year.

Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is 19855 MW (cross checked from WIKIPEDIA)and the electricity demand (as of today 20-04-2010) is 14500 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 10000 MW.

So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of IMF / World Bank policies imposed on our nation by Govt. The Power Generation companies are not buying Furnace Oil from PSO by saying they don’t have money to do that but we are all paying for Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top refineries like PRL are operating at 40% capacities. IMF / World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit by importing less crude oil. But due to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis. None of our political party who are in Assembly is ready to speak on it because every one is blessed by US / IMF / World Bank.
 
Dear Pakistani’s,

This is a time to show your social activism your power and strength. It is your silence which is deafening and your couldn’t care less attitude which makes the people in power more powerful evasive and secure in their Air conditioned offices.

PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED:  
  WE WANT ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN.
  
Electricity now is @11 Rs. per unit, and it will increase after every two months as directed by  IMF policies. Also CHINA offers to Pakistan Electricity for just Rs.300 Monthly Bill and Unlimited Usage of Electricity but our government is not taking the offer seriously. This is because there will be neither kick backs nor any commissions to be pocketed by the strong mafia of politicians and bureaucrats.
 
These people are there because of your votes. Let them serve you rather than rule you……
NOW THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT YOUR STRENGTH.
  
PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE OF THIS MESSAGE MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH.
