Just had my last day at the client and the feeling of nostalgia was beyond me. Having spent most part of the past one year of my articles, it suddenly seemed pretty sad-sad to finally leave it. [Although I was thankful that at last I would be going on a new client! 
] Having finally picked up my things and locking the door of my audit room behind me, I suddenly felt my heart heavy and feet reluctant as I moved towards the exit. Flash backs of all the humorous and not so humorous events started to bug me. The late sittings, the tafreeh, the table tennis games, the music, the laughter, the fights, the work pressure all came back to me.
Last year I remember when I was back home after spending 20 days out of Karachi, I experienced the same melancholy feeling although I was glad to be back home. As a kid too, whenever we would go for outings it would always feel so sad-sad while we came back home. I always wonder how I can be happy and then be so sad at the same time?
tuluu-e-shams-e-mufaaraqat hai
puranii kiranien naye makaano ke aangano may laraz rahii hien
fasiil-e-shahar-e-vafa ke rozan chamakate zarron se bhar gaii hien
gaye dino ki aziz baatien nigar subahien gulab raatien
bisaat-e-dil bhii ajiib shay hai hazaar jiitien hazaar maatien
(Amjad Islam Amjad)
