Word of the day: 'shajar'


Dear friends,

Postings on Lafz will resume from today. Thank you for your patience 
and your cooperation. For those who have joined Lafz in the past few 
weeks and have been wondering about the long silence, the explanation 
is that I just moved to San Diego with a new job and hence, was 
unable to post anything. Hopefully there shall be no more 
interruptions.

A special thanks to all San Diegans on my mailing lists for their 
warm welcome and innumerable offers of help. On to the word of the 
day:


Meaning:
-------

shajar - tree


Couplet:
jin ke aa.Ngan me.n amiirii kaa shajar lagataa hai
un kaa har aib zamaane ko hunar lagataa hai
[Anjum Rahbar]

[amiirii = wealth; aib = fault; hunar = talent/skill]
