Expressing your feelings, and then regretting it afterward… 💔 Have you ever felt that way too?
In the Sufi way friendship blooms like a divine rose. It transcends the self and seeks the beloved in the heart of another. True friends walk together on the path of love dissolving ego in unity. Their bond mirrors the eternal connection with the divine source.

Sher Muhammad Khan, widely recognized by his pen name Ibn e Insha, was a prominent Urdu poet, columnist, and celebrated humorist. Born in the Phillaur tehsil of Punjab’s Jalandhar District to a father of Rajasthani descent, he completed his B.A. at Punjab University in 1946 and later earned an M.A. from the University of Karachi in 1953.
His work with the United Nations provided him the opportunity to travel extensively, inspiring his well-regarded travelogues. Guided by mentors such as Habibullah Ghazanfer Amrohvi, Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Khan, and Dr. Abdul Qayyum, he left a lasting literary legacy before his passing in London on January 11, 1978.

Naseer Turabi (1945–2021) was an esteemed Urdu poet, linguist, and lexicographer. Although he initially held a career in the insurance sector, his true legacy was defined by his extraordinary literary genius. He began his poetry journey in 1962, consistently bringing new and modern dimensions to the traditional Urdu ghazal. Turabi achieved massive mainstream popularity when his poignant ghazal "Woh Humsafar Tha" became a hit television soundtrack.
As a meticulous linguist, he authored Sheriyat, a crucial guide on poetic nuances, and compiled the dictionary Lughat-ul-Awam. His prominent poetic collections include Aks-e-Faryadi and Lareb, the latter earning him the prestigious Allama Iqbal Award. He is remembered today for his beautiful synthesis of classical tradition and modernity, alongside his strict devotion to linguistic precision.
