د مور دعا

د مور دعا

ماته وغواړه مورجــــانی مغفـــــرت
چې نصیب می ستا دعا شې هم رحمت
ته دعـــــــا د زړه دکــــومی راته وکړه
ستا دعا کې دی د ټول جـــــهان طاقت
اوس زه ستا د دعا ګانو ډیر محـتاج یم
ځکه ستا دپښــــو  دلاندی دې جــــنت
ته ځـولۍ د رحـــمتونو راخــوره کــړه
ستا ځولۍ کې دي دنــیا او اخـــــــرت
که هر څو زه ستا نه ځاراوصدقه شم
در به نه کړای شم بدل ستا دزحــمت
زه عادل ستا دعا په طمع ناســـت یم
چې محروم نه شم له دغه لوي نعمت

Grandfathers

Because of the distances presented by my parent's migration to England, I didn't grow up with either of my grandfathers and only saw them during a trip to Pakistan when I was still in first school. I have fading memories of my maternal grandfather, Ghulam Nadir, and some almost equally blurred images of my paternal grandfather, Ali Akbar.

My father's grandfather went by the fine name of Arsalaan and his father was Ras Gul, and so it continues. They are mostly known by their singular names (Khan and Gul as honorific titles) at a time when hard records were not always kept. It's important, however, to have knowledge of your past and this thread is dedicated to that important patrilineal lineage of grandfathers.
