Do you know that among 12,000 verses of Allama, more then 7,000 are in Persian?

His love of the Persian language is evident in his works and poetry. He says in one of his poems:

گرچہ اردو در عذوبت شکر است
garche Urdū dar uzūbat shekkar ast
طرز گفتار دري شيرين تر است
tarz-e goftar-e Dari shirin tar ast

Translation: Even though in sweetness Urdu is sugar – (but) speech method in Dari (Persian) is sweeter.

If you want to understand the chaos and reach the glory, then you must hear this. We had given this speech almost 16 months ago but it is brutally true for today's crisis. We have been warning and also giving glad tidings of the destiny that awaits.

Today is Iqbal day. Recite Fatiha for our beloved baba. Now hear this..... Here is the solution to what Pakistan faces today.
