ہنوز دلی دور است
"Delhi is still far away."
Doyou know the fascinating story behind it?
A powerful ruler of Delhi, Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, aand there were a very well-known Sufi saint during that time, Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya. The king was filled with a great hatred for the saint, because his popularity with the people was increasing.

Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq started his journey back to Delhi with his army one day after he had emerged victorious in a battle of Bengal. Before arriving at the capital, he sent a messenger to Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya with a message:
"Before I reach Delhi, you must leave. Otherwise, it will not be good for you."
Listening to this threatening, the saint merely smiled and returned saying:
"ہنوز دلی دور است"
"Delhi is still far away."
His words conveyed great meaning—the future is oblivious, no one knows what is to come before arriving at their destination.

Curiosity of the fact that before the king can move to Delhi, he died in the accident. A wooden pavilion constructed in his name fell and his own destiny was sealed before he could carry out his project.
Since that day on, this proverb has become an endless lesson: never overestimate your chances to reach your goal, because fate has it own plans.

Haha, thank you! You're not the only one who has asked why "artist"—many of my Pakistani mates have asked me the same question about my nickname.
There’s some reasoning behind it, but maybe I’ll share that someday... in DMs. As for "1111," well, it's different simply for the sake of being different, plus, i tried few names was already taken!
Honestly, I often ask myself the same question. But then, I remember William Shakespeare’s famous quote:
"نام میں کیا رکھا ہے؟"
"What’s in a name?" 😜
