My Friend Salahuddin

Miyan used to speak with fondness, regards and appreciation about a friend called Salahuddin Sahab. Latter had migrated to Karachi. Then there were stories of discovering old friend in Pakistan during his visit to Pakistan. Aligarh Old Boys in Pakistan were trying to establish a university there, Sir Syed University, and Miyan was very pleased with their efforts and was appreciative of that. A bound and printed book on that proposal also ended up on Miyan's table. On its back is a photograph of Brigadier Iqbal M. Shafi Sahab Alig engrossed in Supplications at Aligarh-purity of intent and concern personified. Lord Most High has His own plans and one day Miyan told that the project to establish that university has failed.

Verily the Lord has power over all things.
