		<description>Yes, God sent money for all these imposters. God has already appointed Nawaz Sharif, His representative. Now, Nawaz is playing the "Qazi Ul Haajat" for them all and providing for all their needs from the stolen money of the nation and some from the country of his refuge.</description>

		<description>Yes these savoiurs are all bloody munafiqs. Interesting thing is that when in power each had brought in cases against the other,but has any of them been punished?Instead it is the nation getting punished for no fault of their own.
This time round both have joined hands with their mouths watering for 16 billion dollars that we had in foreign reserves. I hear that about half of that reserve has already vanished.It was time we woke up to their ugly designs and did something about it, or else it will be too late.Musharraf should now pull on that rope he offered  them to hang themselves with.
It is nauesous watching these politicains making a mockery of a poor nation.The huge cavalcades of posh and huge gas guzzlers when these so called politicians move is an ugly sight. And they say they are not corroupt.So where has the money come from?Nawaz shareef is on record as having paid a meagre 300-400 rupees as incometax. BB similarly paid around the same.
Each time I have seen Shareef Zaedari meeting at the same venue, ie Shareefs Raiwind house,it has been in a new drawing room with decor that would shame many a royals . Shameless creatures.
Vakeels are no better.God has been kind to them and must have secretly given them millions of dollars to run their movement and long marches all  supervised and supported by the Poor Chief Justice himself. Lawyers were crying hoarse that the poor chap and the family were suffering because  the salary had not been paid for months.But before he got any penny given , he was jet hopping.Do we know how expensive is it to fly these days.Will someone ever give the accounts of this ayyashi of lawyers strike.How the country lost billions because of them we all know too well. 
 May Allah give the nation strength to get up and strangle the fat necks.</description>

		<description>Our great redeemers – 2 (DAWN, Sunday June 15, 2007)

By Ardeshir Cowasjee

.......

How much has this ‘long march’ which was not a march but a drive (we have had ‘marches’ in vehicles and trains in the past orchestrated by our political leaders) burdened this deprived nation and its thirsty and hungry people? If street thinking or street power is to be believed, the funds for the lawyers’ movement and for this culmination have emanated from the coffers of Mian Nawaz Sharif and his brand of Muslim League, whose coffers were and are filled to the brim with the nation’s money.

We must always remember that if this country had law and order, accompanied by justice of the genuine type, many of those who now lord it over this country would be looking at us, rather than lounging in their gilded chairs, through the spaces between the bars that separated them from us.

Nawaz Sharif, now championing the cause of an independent judiciary purely as a means of getting his own back on Musharraf, was once caught out when he carelessly signed a loan agreement that was subject to English law. During his second term in office, whilst riding high, his Hudaiba Paper Mill borrowed money from Investment Funds Limited operated by Al-Tawfik Company. Defaulters are held to be accountable in England and Mian Sahib and his partners were dealt with successfully by the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice in London. That court did what no court in Pakistan could or dare do.

A master of the court, not even a judge, served an order on the defendants in September 1998 and properties in London were attached. End of story. The Sharifs paid up the loan plus interest amounting to approximately US$450m within 16 months. According to the Mians, which is somewhat unbelievable, the money was paid back by an ‘Arab friend’ out of pure love and affection. The details of the repayment were not disclosed, as requested by the Sharifs. The lenders did not object and the court so ordered.</description>

Thanks for translating it for others. You have correctly stated the meanings, but sometimes words are taken for their implied meanings and even ironically. Requiem here suggests "esaal-e-sawab" in the ironic tone. Thats why the word was selected.</description>

		<description>Dall and Murghi

Here it will be wrong to name this long march rallies and gatherings a ‘Requiem’ because ‘Requiem’ is a song or hymn of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person; usually in a mass and it is celebrated for the repose of the souls of the dead or say; ‘Eesaal- e- sawab kay liay doaaya nahtiya Mehfil ka sajjana’ may be nearly correct. 

Any how; here we have got a mass rally arranged in a shape of Long March for different purpose; but this long march is for what? Where is that Dictator ship that you me and every one of us are after; In Islamabad; we find a fully democratic Government since installed and is in full action drawing their salaries and allowances at full scale. They are in charge and fully empowered to act with full vigour and zeal. If some thing is to be done this government has to? If the leaders in the government have made some promises then they have to comply with, not the out gone or Mr. Musharraf standing at the Exit.

But be care full this government is yet in infancy; it is first time in the history that 'out and gone' people have handed over this government fully intact. If you want to break a vase before even using it; blame lies with the one; in whose hand this vase is held.

I think we must not exaggerate and miss quote the uttering in passing of ‘Dall and Murghi’ in a gathering held at President House. In any case if cost of dall is higher than poultry and if chicken can be served as a substitute then by all means; chicken must be consumed at cheaper rates. Why not?</description>

		<description>Ms. Nazia,

Sure, You are right but in practical life, we hardly see such kind of love that puts whole country on stake. a love of Seat, a love of Wardi, a love of Adventure, a love of seeing bloodshed, a love of imposing 2 Martial Laws 1999-2007, a love of kidnapping citizen, a love of showing "MUKKA", a love of doing political speeches, a love of removing judges twice, a love of crushing constitution under feet, a love of showing power on Karachi streets, a love of beating/dragging ladies on roads, a love of making media off air, a love of distributing plots in Gwadar, a love of selling national assets like PTCL, KESC, Steel Mills, a love of bringing naked culture in society, a love to always telling lies and lot more...

If leader love above thing....how his small lover can remain silent.</description>
