Salaam brothers and sisters, can anyone help me… is there an english translation of Man Chalay ka Sauda? Has there been any? Or at least the Roman transliteration of the original Urdu?

I would love to translate the work in Indonesian for the benefit of those with the sufistic bent of mind and “heart”!

Please help!

Allah Haafiz – a.k.

PS: It would also help if there is the tv serial with english subtitles. Meherbaani

Allah kay payaray Hazrat Ashfaq Ahmed , was not only a writer or novelist, there are thousands of writers and speakers but no one read them and no one listen them , He was a WALII. Who never told this to any one , people think he make stories but d’t think that a preacher of ISlam can’t lie ,How he can told you created stories or lie. He told all the things what was happening.
Luckly once I read answers of people’s letter written by Baba jee of Ashfaq sab ( at Noor Walon Ka Daira. Dr. Ali Muhammad Sab ..younger son of baba jee) after that i know ashfaq sab was also becom a BABA( main ranja ranja kar de apay ranja hoe)

A great novelist, playwright and intellectual no doubt, however…

He was Qudratullah Shahab’s bosom buddy, and a part of Shahab’s Writers’ Guild, whose first session was inaugurated by our wonderful Field Marshal…

As the editorial in Dawn notes, he was made the editor of Lail-o-Nahar when the Faujis took over the Progressive Papers Limited…

If this wasn’t enough, he was all for Zia’s coup and all that went on afterwards in the name of Islam…

I know the timing isn’t great for saying all this, and it isn’t nice speaking bad of the dead, especially the recently departed, but this is just an attempt at objectivity, not an attempt to disagree with what you all have said regarding his humility and kindness, not to mention his obvious skills with the pen… after all, if his short essay on Faiz ( the famous “Mala’amati Sufi” one) can appear at the beginning of one of Faiz’s books, who am I to condemn him for being on the other side of the fence…

“The Philosophical Anthem of Asfaq Ahmed”

As I heard the News of the Death of Asfaq Ahmed on PTV-World at 9:30 Night , I was paralyzed for a short movement and I did not remember for how much time I Persistently Saw the TV Screen with Stunted eyes. My Tears was floating on my face frequently at that Time and I had not much Energy that I would stand on my own feets. And I regretted

“Asfaq Ji itni Jal de kia teh”

The Millions of Peoples around the World Mourns the Death of Asfaq Ahmed.The people who Loves him are in Millions.Asfaq Ahmed Appeared to be a Shy, Bold, and and having small eyes on his face often fallen down in the keen observation of Contemporary Social Issues.Asfaq ahmed was a rare bid in the Classical Conservative Movement Chain of Intellectual that appears around 60′s.Asfaq’s Adherence to his Classic and Traditional Conventions and ideas were so deeply rooted that he did not left them and Consistenlty teahes them in his distingusih preaching Style.
In 1950-51 who can forget these Words of great Sadat Hassan Minto

Minto: “Asfaq Tu ne Agar “Gadaria” jese ik do novel aur lehk deye tu mein tera Hashar Kharab Kar doen Ga”

Asfaq Sayed: “Kion Sir kia Bat ho gaye”
Minto Sayed: ” Oe Mera Kia Ho Ga. Mein Tu Urdu ka sab se bara Afsana Nigar Hoon Na”
Asfaq sayed: “ji Sir is mein Kia Shak hai”

These Conversation of Minto and Asfaq Ahmed can not be glimpse away by the Giant of Urdu Literature.

The drama of Asfaq Ahmed truly characterized the Desire Human instings and Model the super natural influences on the human life, that he was destined to be presented.
His famous “BABA” which he had owes as his spiritual Guide was the heart of his total Philosophy.
The summonization part of the drama really gone down through the veins of viewer
tells that for What Drama Stands for.
The Regular Program “Zawiya” that he had been hosted at PTV for some time was a program with high intellectual and Spiritual Fertility. That was also admitted my Jamiludin Aale in his column of sunday 12-9- 2004 printed in jang edition and above conservation of MINTO,ASFAQ AHMED.
The Space created with the death his death is hardly to be filled.
I requested you to recite a fateha for the soul of asfaq ahmed.

Wow, Ashfaq Ahmed seems to have reached almost the same level of imbecile sainthood as Allama Iqbal.
I am not going to change any minds here, but in my old age I have figured out that its still useful to let people know that there ARE real people from Lahore who dont buy this allama iqbal/ashfaq ahmed/qudratullah shahab bullshit. (and yes, Iqbal was a genius and the other two are arranged in descending order of IQ , but the magic thread that runs through all three is the notion that pretending to believe in magic will make magic happen)…As Hazrat Ice Cube (RH) would say “f–k that shit….”

Ashfaq Ahmed is one the greatest writer I have ever seen. I really inspired his personality. He was the great man. His observation was very deep.

I start a journey to know Ashfaq Ahmed from Zaviya. He made me a slave of his Outstanding Expressing way.
Than time passed away, and i go addicted of his writings.
Alas, he is not among us phhysically, but spiritually.
He has too much effect my life, and made me “”YOUNG BABA”".
May ALLAH rest his soul in peace.
