"14 saal pehlay father ki death ho gae to aik shop par 60rs/day par loading unloading ka kaam shuru kar dia. Din main parhai karta tha or shaam main job karta tha. Har kuch din baad ammi yahi poochti thai ka Baita tu kaisay karay ga, kaisay karay ga.
Waqt guzarta gya. Tangi k bawajood maine parhai puri ki,
Ab main aik company main Accounts Officer hun or 60,000/month kama raha hu. Last year meri sister ki shadi bhi ho gae ab mai apni ammi ki khoob khidmat karta hun. Kyun kay ye sab unhi ki duaon ka nateeja ha."

I quit my education due to financial pressure and came here from Hunza in order to earn and support my family. 
My younger brother studies in 9th grade. He asked me to look for a job for him as well but I know the hardships of living a life without education. Therefore, no matter what, I will educate him.

After taking his photo i asked him to tell me something good.
He said, '' Bhai zindagi me agar kamyab hona haina tu halal rizq kamana, me kamyab hun aur ye mat sochna kay ameer hona kamyabi hai. Kamyab wo admi hota hai jisko dil ka sakoon hasil ho.''

"I had a job but my only son got sick and I spent all my savings on his treatments.
I tried to sell fruits but failed. Now, I sell toys here and earn enough for a three times meal for my family. 
Prophet (PBUH) said, "Allah tests His pious people." I guess this is my test. But, I'm thankful to Allah that he never let me sleep empty stomach."
