in theend there is...........................

"Woh khwab jab poora hua tou sub ne muskara kar jahan shukria quaid kaha tou wahin Iqbal ko kharaj e tehseen paish kiya"(that dream when fulfilled so everyone said happily Thank you Quaid on one hand so on the other hand they awarded Iqbal too), Farhan was preparing for next day's speech.
                   -
Next day
"tum meri class mein jao, aur main uss side ki tamam classes ko khali karwata hoon"(you go to my class and I will go to that side to eradicate it), Fajahad instructed to Sidra. 
He reached at 7:00am as usual but other perfects reached earlier that day too.

The tent was being sent under the supervision of Iqra-master in handling usual-male-controlling affairs, along with Salim, a prefect, in the ground.
                      --
"Niklo, niklo, class sey niklo"(leave, leave, leave the classroom), alerting the students by clapping and announcing while standing outside the class.
In each class he was doing the same announcement, making students to leave at once by making a proper line because they were asked by their "saroo".

"Fajahad", while he was announcing, Junaid patted on his shoulder.
"Kal k liye I am......"(for yesterday I am.....), he was trying to apologize him but he interrupted and said "Junaid hum baad mein baat karein ge, I am busy right now"(Junaid we will talk later, I am busy right now), and walked down stairs leading the queue.

"Saroo Kaisa hai, Kiya ab bhi mood off hai"(how is saroo, is his mood still off), Salman asked him. He came there to Junaid and patted him.
He nodded.
"Chal aa neechay chaltay hain, warna Sidra maar daalay gee"(let's go  down in ground otherwise Sidra would beat us), he put his hand around Junaid and both walked to their class to walk down with their class.
                       --
"Yahan tou 10 aur employees ki zaroorat hai, I think we should hire"(10 more employees are needed here, I think we should hire), being head of HR department, she was checking the records and found 10 employees were needed more in it.
                        ---
"Yeh phir aagaye khuaar kai k!"(these bad-mouthers come again!), Rashid and Bilal, walking towards the ground to stand in lines, saw Arsalan, Hania, Qasim walking towards them while speaking to each other about their sparrow's dissection and they commented.
"Kiya hai bhai? kyun roz roz tum humaray saamnay aakar mood kharab karte ho! jao na yahan sey!"(what is the problem with you guys? Why you come in front of us always?? Go away from here), Rashid stood there to tease them. And he literally scold them that their studiousness used to irritate everyone so they should not come and he pushed them away.
He demeaned them.
And the three left with looking down.
                      ----
"So here is the list", Ms. Saima handed him the list of names.
Participants were standing behind them against the wall in line.
"Jee Miss"(okay Miss), he agreed.
While looking at the list, he foot it in front of the line.
"Faizan Rashid, Yasir Khan, Karan Malhotra, Haroon Tariq, Umer Naik", he was calling and moving towards the person, and the person in return calling "saroo" to him and me some "Faji".
He called out the name of Farhan too and Farhan too called him FAJI and smiled as usual which passed as usual along with moving a finger to next person.
The line ran behind the stage.
"Be prepared and best of luck!!", After confirming the list, he came in centre to them and wished them luck.
He ran upstairs to stage on which everyone chorused "saroo! Saroo" and started in Memoni style "Salam bhaiyon salaam behaano, ki haal aaein"(Good morning brothers, good morning sisters).
While walking in centre he said "aaj k mauqay ko dekhta hoon tou taki ka ek sher yaad aata hai
Fakeerana aaye sadaa kar chalay
Mian Khush raho, hum dua Kar chalay"(on seeing today's event, one of the verse of Taki comes in my mind

As a fakir* I did come to thee yelling I went away.

Be happy chum-buddy praying I went away.)
"Taki!!!", Everyone in audience chorused and looking each other interrogatively and asking each other.
Iqra recalling his word and trying to remember what it means and then she called out  "Mir Taqi Mir".
"Haan wahi wahi, Mir Taqi Mir"(yes that one, Mir Taqi Mir), as the verse ended he listened Iqra's words.

"Yeh sher kaha hai Mir nay, par amal mein la kar dekhaya hai humaray Iqbal nay, Iqbal Jin k naam pe aaj yeh mehfil lagi hai, sirf bara e saagir k shair hi nahi balkay poori duniya k shair hain, unhone sirf baidar karne ka kaam nahi kiya balkay ek insaan ki khwab dekhna sikhaya, is baat ki taleem di k insaan har qued o bund se azaad hai, Woh azaad hai tabhi tou Ashraf UL Makhlooq hai, sub sey behtareen khuda banaya hua shahkar hai, isliye tou na woh ek dusaray ko tor saktay hain na bana saktay Hain, agar koi tor aur jor sakta hai Woh bhi insaan ko tou woh sirf khuda hai. Khuda, ek falsafa hai ya shayad koi zaat par jis tareeqay sey Iqbal ne isko bayan waisay kisi ne nahi kiya. Keh diya jo faislay insaan karta  hai woh insaan nahi khuda karta hai"(this stanza is said by Mir but Iqbal put it into action, Iqbal, on whose name today's event is organized, is not only the Poet of East but also of whole world, he acknowledged us that a human being is free of all kind of barriers and blocks, he is free that's why he is ASHRAF UL MAKHLOOQ, the best creature of him, that is why a human being can not destroy another human being nor can made another human being, if someone can destroy or create him so he is God only. God, a philosophy or may be a self, but no one can describe it as Iqbal did. He said it that the decisions taken by human being are not taken by human but actually by God.), his words mesmerized everyone from students to teachers but not to those KHUARS-busy in their books because they could not settle be comfortable with all of them.

While he was telling about Iqbal Haroon murmured "yahi sub BOL dey ga tou hum Kiya bolein ge"(if he would say everything, so what we will say!!)

"Aayein ab hum apni taqreeb Ka aagaaz kartey hain. Pehley hissay daar Hai.., ek tou naam bhoolne ki bari beemari hai, koi baat nahi aap intezaar karein main abhi bata hoon",(so now come and initiate our event. The first participant is..., what a illness I have to forget names, there is no problem, you wait, I am telling you soon)

He took out the paper from pocket and announced "aur janaab pehley shaagird hain Faizan Rashid"(so, the first participant is Faizan Rashid).

Faizan walked up on to stage.
Fajahad walked to him while announcing "jee Faizan mian, ki haal hain"(So yes Mr.Faizan, what's up), he hugged.
While putting hand around his shoulder and both walking towards centre he asked "acha aap yeh bataein k kis ki aap chunein ge, Iqbal ya Quaid"(okay now tell to whom you would choose Iqbal or Quaid)
"Quaid", he answered
"Theek hai"(okay), he nodded.
He presented a bowl in front of him and said "tou jee Faizan sahab, aap Ka anwaan is boxay mein hai tou nikalein aur Shru hojaye!!"(so Mr.Faizan, your topic is in this box so take it out and get started!!)
He took out the chit, announced the topic and started his speech while Fajahad walked down.

"Iqbal teray jawaan ab bhi iss duniya mein mojjod hain"(Iqbal your youngsters are still present), he announced the topic while standing down of the stage for viewers.

"Iqbal k jawan, kiya waqai hum Iqbal k jawan hain!!"(Iqbal's youngsters, are were ally Iqbal's youngsters!!), the start created a buzz that all students started hooting "yuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", but the buzz and listening ears was not remain anymore when he forgot after saying "hansi aati hai mujhe........"(I laughed on my....), and went down after repeating three times and he remembered not any more.

"chalein jee, bohat khoob, bohat khoob, humaray pyaaray iqbal k jawan, ab bari hai humaray mulk kiiii....ya ka"(ok so you have good and good, dear Iqbal's youngsters, now it is the turn of our country's daughter....or son), and everyone laughed that he still forgetting the names, "ek minute", he raised his index to show to wait, took out paper and unfolded it and announced "ki beti, Nimra Akhtar" (country's daughterNimra Akhtar),

Nimra walked up.

"tou jee Nimra aap kis k jaisa ban na chahti hain, Iqbal ya Quaid"(So Nimra with whom you are Iqbal or Quaid?), he asked

"Iqbal", she answered.

"theek hai, ab aap nikalay apni TAKDEER" (okay, now take out your fate), he presented a bow in front of her.

"khwaishein baadshahon ko ghulam bana layti hain

magar sabar ghulamon ko baadshah bana deta hai"(wants make kings a beggar 

                                                                                    patience make beggars a king)

she announced a topic.

"waah bhai waah, kiya anwaan hai aap ka!! waisay aap iss baat sey itaafaq karti hain"(wow what a topic you have got!! by the way you agree with this point),he laughed and then asked.

"jee main bilkul itafaaq karti hoon"(yes I totally agree with this point), she answered.

"chalein phir yeh takht aap ka hua"(okay then this stage is yours), while going down he stopped and turned and then continued "teen minute k liye"(for three minutes), and all laughed.

"jee sahab"(yes mister), she laughed too.

"mummy mujhe khilona chahiye hai, mummy mujhe pizza chahiye hai, mummy mujhe naya bag chahiye, mummy mujhe gari khareed kar dein, mummy mujhe naukri dilwaein aur mummy mujhe ghar k paisay dein, yeh sub kiya hain...bay jaan khwaishein jis ne maa ko bachay ka aur bachay ko duniya ki badaalti karwaataon ka ghulam bana diya hai, yeh bacha main aur aap hi hain aur yeh maa meri aur aap hi ki maa hai, in khwaishaat ne humein aagay barhnay se rok diya aur aagay barhna humari khwaish nahi zaroorat  hai kyun mulk ko iss duniya ko charhtay khoon k kaabil honay ki zarrorat hai, unki himat ki, humari himat ki zaroorat hai aur sub sey barh kar humary apne liye zaroori hai kyunk farz hai hum par k duniya ko jaanay aur uski khudayi ko nazariye se hakikat bana lein"(mummy I want a toy, mummy I want a pizza, mummy I want a new bag, mummy buy me a car, mummy do something to get me a job, mummy buy me a house, what are these....non living wants which make mother a servant of child and child a servant of turning folds of world, that child is me and you all, and that mother is also of me and you all, these wants have stopped us from moving forward and moving forward is not our want it is our need because a country, a world needs young to be capable and most importantly it is our need because it is our responsibility to know the world more and more and make his deities from opinion to fact), her words from beginning to ending let the audience to glue their eyes on her and grand their ears to her words.

"waah jee waah, aap tou such mein khwaishon k khilaf nikli"wow!! you have literally turned out to be against wants), Fajahad ran up the stage and laughed. She laughed too and went down.

"tou jee ab baari hai"(so now the turn is of), he took out paper and announced "Farhan Akhtar". He was still lughing and smiling, letting no one notice a slight change, not even Junaid could notice it. But Farah noticed it who knew everything Faji's perspectives and Farhan's perspectives and she was with her brother. Fajahad told her everything to take her help and she told him to ignore all of this and be normal and it was Farah who requested him to go that night when Junaid called him.

Farhan could not even notice and that is why he was more uncomfortable. His nerves and veins oflegs were trembling but can only be felt by him not observed by others.

Taking the burden of his nerves and veins, he foot it to stage. Unlike others, he stepped not with smile, not with straight shoulders.

-"Tou ji Farhan sahab, Mr. Romeo of Me, aap kis ki side par hain Iqbal ya Quaid?"(so yes Mr.Farhan or Mr.Romeo of Me, on whose side you are Iqbal or Quaid), he greeted with his curved lips supported by curves near lips and eyes.

"Dono ko"(both)

-"dono, haha, khairiat, kiya waja hai, kyun, sub ek bata rahay hain, aap kyun dono ki taraf hain?"(both, haha, is everything alright, what's the reason behind it,everyone was choosing one of them and you both?)

"kyun k Iqbal ne khwab dekhna seekhaya hai tou waheen Quaid ne khwab ko haqiqat banana, aur khwabon ka poora hona bohat zaroori hai kyun k jo khwab pooray hotay hain wahi khwab hotay hain aur jo pooray nahi hota, woh khwab nahi woh pagalpan hai, aur aisa sirf pagal karte hain, ashraf ul makhlookaat nahi"(because Iqbal where taught us to dream so Quaid on the other hand taught us how to fulfill them, and it is very important for dreams to be fulfilled because the dreams that are fulfilled are called dreams and those that are not fulffilled they are then called madness and only mad do this, not human beings)

-"waah!! Kiya jawab hai aap ka!! dekhna aaj ka muqabla aap hi jeetein ge"(wow!! What an answer of yours!! You will win today's competition, see it), he laughed with head bend up and then at him, to whom he wished luck.

"tou chuniye taqdeer aur dekha dein apna kamal"(so choose your fate and let others know your magic), he passed the bowl and he chose the chit.

"Iqbal ka Shaheen"(Iqbal's Shaheen), he announced.

"tou jee stage aap lein 3 minute k liye"(so you take the stage for 3 minutes), he went down.

                                                                         ----

so whole performances was done.

"tou ab giya waqt result ka"(so now its time for result), he was stepping forward at left slowly.

After observing their faces he giggled "aur haan is dafa main nahi tha, tou haar tasleem karli!!"(and yes this time I was not, so you all accepted defeat!!), all girls raised their listening powers.

After looking at their ball like opened eyes and gig ears, he agreed "jee khawateen, is dafa aap jeetein hain"(yes women, this time you won)

"nimra Akhtar", he announced the name.

"Maheen Mahiwal, doosri number par"(maheen Mahiwal, second position)

"saima Mustafa, teesri position"(Saima Mustafa, third position)

                                                                                      -----

-"woh, I am sorry Fajahad"(that, I am sorry Fajahad)

"khair hogai, I even didn't remember it"(it's okay, I even didn't remember it)

-"acha chont dekha ziyada lagi tou nahi hai"(okay let me see your injury, didn't it injured a lot), he took his hand to see.

Fajahad slapped him.

Farhan in return slapped him

-"tu ne mujhe kyun mara"(why you slapped me)

"tu ne kyun mara"(why you slapped me)

-"main ne tou isliye mara kyun k tu chont k baray mein pooch raha tha, yeh bhi koi cheez hoti hai poochne wali, we are friends"(i slapped you because you were asking about injury, such a small thing to be asked, we are friends), he was first confused why Farhan slapped but when he came to know he was also asking the same question he replied first looking down how to say and then said it with being hot-blooded.

-"oh acha"(oh, okay), the reason let his emotions to effuse out and then "acha chal na"(okay now come on), they all seven hugged.
