Sunday Special-Dialema about place for Drinking!

Mirza Ghalib
"Sharab peenay de masjid mei.n baith kar,
Ya woh jagah bataa jaha.n khuda nahi."
 Translation:
"Let me drink in the mosque,
Or tell me the place where God is not present."
         Tejinder Kamboj
 "Matt peena zahaid (Devout,Pious) Masjid mei.n baitth kar,
Botal tou Fakat(Only, Merely) ek hai Khuda na.n maang ley!"
Translation: "Hay!, Pious and devout person, Do not try to drink in the Mosque, there resides the God, you have only one bottle ,God may ask for the same from you!"
Iqbal
"Masjid khuda ka ghar hai, peeney ki jagah nahi,
Kafir ke dil me.n ja waha.n khuda nahi.n."
Translation:
"Mosque is the place of God, not a place to drink,
Go to the heart of a kafir, God is absent there".
(In Islam Kafir refers to a person who is nonbeliever in Allah)
Ahamad Faraz
"Kafir ke dil sey aaya hu.n mai.n yeh dekh kar,
Khuda maujood hai waha.n par usey pata nahi".
Translation:
"I have looked into the heart of a Kafir,
God is there but the Kafir doesn't know it."
Wasi Shah
"Khuda to maujood duniya mei.n har jagah hai,
Tu Jannat mei.n ja waha.n peena mana.h nahi."
Translation:
"God is present everywhere in this world.
Go to heaven, drinking is not forbidden there."
Saqi Farooki
"Peeta hu.n gham-e-duniya bhulaney ke liye,
Jannat me kaunsa gham hai iss liye waha.n piney mei.n maja nahi."
Translation:
"I drink to forget the pain in this world.
There is no pain in heaven so no joy of drinking in there."
Meir Taqi Mir
"Hum peetay hai.n mazey.ke liye bewajah badnaam gum hai
Poori botal peekar dekho duniya kya jannat se kum hai?"
Translation
"We drink for our pleasure, for no reason pain need be blamed
Drink a whole bottle, and see the world is no less than heaven."

Sunday Special--God's Cow!

Image
When I was a child,I was fascinated by  a few insects,like Butterflies,Jugnu (Glow worm-or firefly), Lady bug,and Beer bahuti(Brother's Bride-In Punjabi).The former two were out of reach of kids, Ladybirds and Beer Bahuti have long been of interest to children, as such I could play with the later Two. Now I learnt that both my favorites are somehow related to the cow! Surprised? I share my research  with you, as follows :- ladybugs/ lady birds called "God's cows" in some languages (such as Russian, French, Hebrew, etc.) The creature beloved in many countries. In Russian, we call it “God’s cow”. Yep, something like this. Ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae. The farmers began to call the Ladybugs “the Beetles of Our Lady” and eventually they were known as Lady Beetles. The Ladybug's red wings are said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots her joys and sorrows. The Ladybug is widely...
