Circumstances which we have resented, situations which we have found desperately difficult, have all been the means in the hands of God of driving the nails into the self-life which so easily complains.
We've been able to watch on our television screens sophisticated weaponry find a building; and we've seen dramatic reports from the front where Pulitzer Prize-to-be winning reporters stood up and declared, the United States is attacked, and all that.
Apki Ankho Me Ansuo Ki Jagah Na Ho.
Mere Pass apko Bhulane Ki Vajah Na Ho.
Agar Bhul Jaun Kisi Tarah Se apko.
To Khuda Kare Meri Zindgi Me Agli Subah Na ho
Aa teri umar me likh doon chand sitaron se,
Tera janamdin me manaun phoolon se baharon se,
Har ek khoobsurti duniya se mein le aaoon,
Sajaoon me ye mehfil chand sitaron se..
Some things the legislator must find ready to his hand in a state, others he must provide. And therefore we can only say: May our state be constituted in such a manner as to be blessed with the goods of which fortune disposes (for we acknowledge her power): whereas virtue and goodness in the state are not a matter of chance but the result of knowledge and purpose. A city can be virtuous only when the citizens who have a share in the government are virtuous, and in our state all the citizens share in the government.
Socha Tha Jab Milenge Raah Chalte Kabhi,
Dil Ki Baaten Juban Par Na Aane Denge,
Hamne Lab Khole Bhi Nahi Aur,
Wo Sab Jaan Gaye,
Khaamoshiyon Ko Samazne Ki Wo Adaa Unme Aaj Bhi Hai?
