Lahore se umeed ki kiran

1947 mein Taqseem-e-Hind se pehle Pakistan ke sheher Lahore, jo aik azeem saqafati markaz ke taur par mashhoor hai, ki aik tihai aabadi Hindu aur Sikh logon par mushtamil thi. Aaj in dono mazahib se talluq rakhne walon ka Lahore ki aabadi mein hissa sirf 0.2 percent hai.

Iska matlab hai ke 1947 ke aas paas in mein se kuch ko qatl kar diya gaya aur baqi jaan ke khauf se India chale gaye.

Is azeem sanihe ke bawajood Lahore aaj bhi mujhe umeed deta hai, aur iski wajah Lahore mein rehne wale mere sahafi dost Sajjad Azhar Pirzada aur Pakistan mein basne wale un jaise dusre secular soch rakhne wale log hain.

Sajjad Holi, Diwali aur dusre Hindu mazhabi mauqon par Lahore ke Krishna Mandir baqaidagi se jate hain, jo Hindu devta Krishna ke naam se mansoob aik Hindu mandir hai aur Lahore mein Ravi Road par Timber Market ke saamne waqe hai. Mojooda daur mein yeh Lahore ke do faal Hindu mandiron mein se aik hai, doosra Valmiki Mandir Lahore ka doosra faal Hindu mandir, jo Anarkali ke qareeb waqe hai aur rishi Valmiki se mansoob hai. hai.

Sajjad, jo Musalman hain, ka Hindu mandir jaana is baat ka matlab nahi ke unhon ne apna mazhab chhor diya hai. Yeh apne Hindu bhaiyon aur behnon ke saath un ke ehtram aur bhaichare ka izhaar hai, bilkul isi tarah jaise Ramzan ke muqaddas Musalman mahine mein mera aik din ka roza Subah sadiq se ghuroob-e-aftab tak ka faaqa, jo Musalman Ramzan ke mahine mein rakhte hain. ( jo main 30 saal se zyada arse se rakhta aa raha hoon ) is baat ka matlab nahi ke maine apna Hindu mazhab chhor diya hai, balke yeh apne Musalman bhaiyon aur behnon ke saath mere ehtram aur bhaichare ka izhaar hai.

Sajjad ke Hindu dost Pandit Kashi Ram Lahore ke Krishna mandir ke head priest hain. Jab bhi Sajjad (aksar apne Musalman doston ke hamrah) mandir jate hain to Pandit Kashi Ram un ke maathe par tika Maathe par barkat ke taur par lagaya jane wala nishan, jo aam taur par surkh ya zard lep se banaya jata hai. lagate hain aur unhein khane ko prasad Woh khana jo pehle devta ko pesh kiya jata hai aur phir barkat ke taur par pujariyon mein bantta hai. dete hain.

Is saal bhi 8 November ko Diwali ke mauqe par Sajjad aur un ke Musalman doston ne Krishna mandir ka dora kiya.

Maroof Pakistani akhbar Nawa-i-Waqt ko diye gaye aik interview mein Sajjad ne bataya ke Pandit Kashi Ram ne apne Musalman padosiyon ki taraf se khud aur apne khandan ko milne wale bhaichare aur tahaffuz ka garmjoshi se zikr kiya.

Sajjad, jo Pakistan ke senior sahafi, anchor aur column nigar hain, ke liye Pandit Kashi Ram se un ka talluq aik purani dosti aur insaniyat, baahmi ehtram aur bain-ul-mazahib afhaam-o-tafheem par mushtarka yaqeen par qaim hai.

Mukhtalif mazhabi baradariyon ke darmiyan mukalme ko ahmiyat dene wale sahafi ki haisiyat se Sajjad ka yaqeen hai ke dosti, ehtram aur insani waqar mazhabi shanakhton se bala-tar hain. Pandit Kashi Ram ke saath un ki dosti isi yaqeen ki akkasi karti hai aur Pakistani muashre ke narm aur zyada jaame chehre ki numainda hai.

Yeh rishta is baat ki yaad dehani hai ke mukhtalif mazahib ke logon ko sirf aik doosre ko bardasht karne ki zaroorat nahi; woh aitmaad, mohabbat aur mushtarka insaniyat ki bunyad par haqeeqi dostiyan bhi qaim kar sakte hain.

Sajjad ne 8 November 2026 ko Diwali ke mauqe par apne Facebook page par likha:

Happy Diwali to all my dear friends!

India ke doston, zara dekhiye ki Pakistan mein Hindu aur Muslim kis tarah mohabbat, khushi aur bhaicharay ke saath rehte hain.

Aaj Lahore ke Krishna Mandir mein Diwali ki khushiyon mein Chief Guest ke taur par shirkat ka mauqa mila. Is khoobsurat taqreeb mein mere saath Pakistan Evacuee Trust Property Board ke officers Additional Secretary Nasir Mushtaq, DS Syed Saadat, senior journalist Naeem Hassan Butt (Nawa-i-Waqt), Pandit Kashi Ram, aur Amarnath Randhawa bhi maujood the.

Yeh sirf Diwali ki khushi mein shirkat nahi, balki mohabbat, insaaniyat, mazhabi rawadari aur interfaith harmony ka aik khoobsurat paigham hai.

Sajjad Pirzada ki pehchaan nafrat nahi, mohabbat hai. Hamaara paigham taqseem nahi, ittihad hai. Yeh paigham sarhadon, mazhabon aur dilon tak har jagah pohanchna chaahiye.

Mohabbat zindabad, insaniyat zindabad.

Upar diye gaye iqtibas ka English tarjuma neeche pesh hai:

Mere Indian doston, baraye meharbani dekhiye ke aaj Pakistan mein Hindu aur Musalman mohabbat aur bhaichare ke saath kis tarah rehte hain.

Aaj maine Lahore ke Krishna mandir mein Diwali ki taqribat mein Chief Guest ke taur par shirkat ki. Is khoobsurat tehwar ke mauqe par mandir mein mere saath Pakistan Evacuee Trust Property Board Woh wafaqi idara jo 1947 mein hijrat karne walon ki chhodi hui jaidadon, bamoojib Hindu mandiron aur Sikh gurdwaron, ka intezam sanbhalta hai. ke afsaran, Additional Secretary Nasir Mushtaq, Deputy Secretary Syed Saadat, akhbar Nawa-i-Waqt ke senior sahafi Naeem Hassan Butt, aur Pandit Kashi Ram wa Amarnath Randhawa maujood the.

Yeh sirf Diwali ki khushi mein shirkat nahi, balki mohabbat, insaniyat aur bain-ul-mazahib hum-ahangi ka paigham bhi hai.

Sajjad Pirzada nafrat ki nahi, mohabbat ki numainda hai. Hindu mandir jane wale mujh aur mere Musalman doston ka paigham taqseem nahi, ittihad hai. Yeh paigham sarhad (Pakistan aur India ke darmiyan) aur mazhabon ki hadein paar kare aur sab ke dilon tak pohanche.

Mohabbat aur insaan dosti zindabad.

Sajjad Azhar Pirzada aur un ke hum-khayal dost zindabad!
