Zindagi main ek muqaam aesa bhi aata hai jab hamarey paas kuch nahi hota, na koi maa baap, na behan bhai na hi koi dost rishtedaar. Us waqt hamen ehsaas hota hai k sirf Allah hi hai jo is kha'la me hamen thaamey hoye hain. Tab hamen ehsaas hota hai k hamarey honey na honey se sirf hamen farq parta hai, kainaat ki kisi cheez par koi farq nahi parta, bs hamara kirdaar khatam hojata hai.
