Urdu rendition by Bashir Hussain Nazim 

Islamabad

    Bashir Hussain Nazim (1937-2012) was a renowned literary, academic and religious figure known for his exceptional skills as a translator. One of his most notable work includes the translation of Hazrat Ali Bin Usman Hajveri Data Ganj Bakhsh (RAA's) renowned book Kashf-Ul-Mahjoob from Persian to Urdu, receiving high praise within religious and literary communities wherever Urdu is understood. Published by Karmanwala Book Shop Lahore, this translation has been widely acclaimed.

    Nazim was among the few individuals in the country who possessed a deep understanding of Persian language, enabling him to compose poetry in Persian with as much expertise that the Iranian Consulate staff never initiated any event without his presence.

    Another notable achievement was the inclusion of his Persian Ashaar engraved at the shrine of Hazrat Ali Bin Usman Hajveri Data Ganj Bakhsh (RAA) (1009-1072) in Lahore.

تاجدار ملک و معنی، پیر پیراں گنج بخش

کو کب رشد و ہدایت، نجم ایقاں گنج بخش

ماہ اقلیم سخا، خورشید گردون عطا

نیر برج طریقت، شمع عرفاں گنج بخش

ہستی او مزرع اسلام را ابر کرم

خطہ پنجاب را احسان یزداں گنج بخش

An evening at shrine of The Sufi Saint

    Dear Dad, as Father's Day (Sunday, June 16, 2024) is being celebrated worldwide today, and tomorrow (June 17, 2012) holds special significance marking your 12th death anniversary, I am bursting with thoughts and emotions, yet find limited by the constraints of brevity.
    

    As I continue to navigate life without you, encountering various influential figures along the way, the void left by your absence becomes more pronounced. The values, teachings, and kindness that you embodied are unmatched, and society truly lacks individuals like you. Your presence is dearly missed as I strive to uphold the legacy you left behind.

Happy Father’s Day Abbai💗

I know you are savouring the delights of heavenly existence!
