My father was a very religious person. And he prayed five times a day. And he did that throughout his relationship with Ataturk - at a time when it was very brave to do because Ataturk was cutting off the heads of the imams. And people thought that that was foolhardy of my father.
Bright was the summer's noon when quickening steps
Followed each other till a dreary moor
Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top
Standing alone, as from a rampart's edge,
I overlooked the bed of Windermere,
Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.

Bahon me chupa ke rakhu tujhko,
Seene se laga ke rakhu tujhko.

Wesi mohabbat apni bana ke rakhu tujhko.

Sardar : Bhagne do, charger to mere paas
hai!
Husan Wale Khoob Wafa Ka Sila Dete Hai,
Har Mod Pe Ek Jakhm Naya Dete Hai,
Aye Dost Is Jaha Me Koi Apna Nahi,

Kare Aap Jab Bhi Yaad Kare
Aapno Ko Toh Uss Aapno
Me Ek Naam Humara Bhi Ho..
