- Dear Faraz.
-
- The lesson is simple. Let's dream a dream like Iqbal.
- Let's dream to eliminate Punjabi vs. Sindhi vs. Baluchi vs.
- Mohajir bickering. Then, work hard like Jinnah and make it
- a reality.
-
- P.S.
- Don't worry about the book. It is for the critics and historians
- to write. Let's be busy. Make history, instead of writing or criticizing
- it.
