When the burial time came, there were only six people in the cemetery, including Mustansar Hussain Tarar, who were the dearest friends of the deceased. They were there, the other person was the deceased's publisher, who had been publishing his books for the last two decades, so it also stopped there, and the other four were domestic workers, who wanted to support him till the end.
The body was placed in the grave, Gurkin sprinkled the grave and thus the journey of the greatest writer, the greatest novelist of the country came to an end.
Who was it? It was "Abdullah Hussain".
Abdullah Hussain About whom we can say, Pakistan produced only one novelist of international level in 68 years and that novelist was Abdullah Hussain.
Abdullah Hussain was born on August 14, 1931, in Rawalpindi, their real name was Muhammad Khan.
In 1952, he took up the pen and created a masterpiece of the Urdu language called "Adas Naslon".
"Adas Nasleen" is the most wonderful novel in Urdu to date. This novel was written by Abdullah Hussain at the age of 32. The President of Pakistan Ayub Khan gave him the highest honor of literature "The Adam Ji Award" at the age of 34. 'Given

We can learn two lessons from this tragedy, one for us common people and the other for the state. We, people, are very unfortunate, we always leave family behind in the pursuit of work, fame, and wealth, we continue to build careers, and gain fame, and the sun of this race continues to melt the wax of our family even when When life comes to an end, we have nothing but a few memories of melted wax in our niches.
I know countless people who couldn't enjoy their children's childhood because they were saving money for their children's future.
When the children grew up, they invested their entire savings and sent the children out for higher education. Wherever the children went, they did not return from there, and so their funerals were read by the employees and the employees buried them.
I also know people who died after collecting fame all their lives and they had no loved ones, relatives or friends at their funeral, nor those who in life used to kiss their hands and have their hands on their palms. He used to take autographs.
I have also seen people who took their family out of the country for peace, justice, happiness, and contented life, finally came back on their own, the family stayed there and when they died, the children got no leave and no flight...
And I am also aware of such people who were full of pride in their lives, who lived their lives as a symbol of power and fame, but when they died, no one came to their grave for ten years. No one even lit a lamp on his head
Therefore, the first lesson is, you should never keep your children, and your family away from you in the name of education, employment, work, fame, power, and security so that they cannot attend your funeral and your graves. Follow their footsteps for ten years, and you will know the reasons for your intellectual decline and the intellectual rise of the western world.
