This is a very special moment in our lives. Long back in
time one day like this came to the world a wonderful human being Prof. Syed Pir
Nasar Ud Daulah. I really don’t know where to begin since words are not enough
to describe your good hearted deeds. I will try to start from the beginning but
keep in mind that some gaps about the story of a man who dedicated his life to
others, including us his family.
Born by the union of Chachi Amma and Abbe Hafaz ji. Dad was in a very early age 4 year old when
destiny decided to take away Abbe Hafazji due to heart failure. But God had somebody else ready to take place
as his father figure who better than Abbaji.
I think even if today one asked Dad he will have to agreed that Abbaji
did completed his role as a father with laurels. As Dad used to tell us; as
little he was the menace, very naughty but, of course very popular among
friends. Following the principles and, education
of his mother and guidance from Abbaji he grew up to be a MSc in Social Siences.
Abbaji took care of him as his own son, he even married his daughter to Dad,
Farakh Saeeda ‘Ammi Namli’. Dad was
acquiring all the good habits of ‘Bade Pir Saheb.’ Since very early age his growing hunger of
love gave the opportunity for to embrace everyone who came close to him seeking
his friendship and love. His social surrounding was growing very fast with
faithful and honest friends because of his nature. Even today one can see
friends made by dad when young are still his friends today.
One bond that he i think will cherish all his life will be
his relation with Abbu Nasir. According to himself Pir Nasir already PhD living
in London helped him when he was in his Punjab University’s days. The cousin
brother became an even stronger link when Pir Saab called Dad to
Venezuela. Dr. Nasir mesmerized by the
beauty and lavish life of being a Professor in Universidad de Oriente, called
upon his dear Peena to try the dream world himself. Abbu Nasar did go to
Venezuela, and as we all know today he is a successful retired Professor
Titular Director Coordinator of Libraries of five Nucleos of this mammoth
university in Venezuela.
Dad’s nature or habit of giving never left his side. That
feeling emerge even stronger when he saw that Abbu Nasir and Ammi Bibi couldn’t
have children. Mom and Dad sacrifice their own flesh and blood to see an air of
happiness in Abbu Nair and Ammi Bibis life by giving Ghazia in adoption. Dad helpless by nature continued his duty
side by side with Abbu Nasir till the date of his death and after as well.
As a father figure he was always there as far as I can
remember. He dedicated his entire life to me and my brothers and sister. I can
never think of one moment that took for him, he always thought of us before
himself. Sacrifice his whole youth and even now he is always thinking for the
betterment of us.
A very dear memory of him for me was that when little I use
to sleep with him because he always told stories when going to be and before
the end of the story I always fell asleep. The next day the same thing, I
always tried to keep myself awoke to listen the entire plot but the magical
words coming from his voice knock me down. Now I realize that he made up those
fairy tales without any ending to it. His love for his children were so immense
that he did forgot any mistakes that we
used to do and, start with new fresh slate all the time.
It is very strange to find a person who dedicates all his
life to others. That can only be done by prophets, Imams, or saints. Dad has
running in his vain the blood of his ancestor Hazrat Shah Daula, I am force to
think of him as a very special person who has stronger feeling for others
rather his own.
Dad has earned the quality during years of being a good
human being. If someone has followed the footsteps of Abbaji words about
complete goodness ‘maqbool nekhi’ is my Dad. If people talk good behind your
back than there is a very high possibility of you leaving an impression upon
them of affection, I have experience that people always say good thing about
Abbu.
When it comes for us to do something for him, in my case I
haven’t even reach a single portion of what he has achieved during his 75 years
of life.
Dad, I am wishing you a very Happy Birthday for many years to come. I know you are a health conscious
person but I will still pray for your good health. There is nothing left for me
to say, the desire of being with you not only today but every day is always
disturbing my mind, it come to my thoughts very often to abandon every responsibility
and, be with you where you are dedicating my life to serve you. Nevertheless,
every bit of me will raise the voice to the almighty Allah, so he can give me
the chance to show my respect, gratitude and love for you someday in the
future. Meanwhile chanting the birthday song for here we join our voice from
London, Cumana to the people in Pakistan wishing that this celebration will
never come to an end.
Love you very
much...
DiL and everyone
here in London...Cumana...and Gujrat.
