The Project Manager's Life 26

The following sher, by Parveen Shaakir, is a natural companion for the sher by Moein Nazar in the last post (see The Project Manager's Life 25) on the value that comes from having a highly respected reputation as a project professional over the mere entry of an accomplishment in a CV. His reputation will spread, but the flower of his accomplishment will remain rooted in the bed of the CV.

He is the fragrance and will spread out in the air
The flower’s problem, however, is where it will go.

वो तो ख़ुश्बू है हवाओं में बिखर जाएगा
मसला फूल का है फूल किधर जाएगा

मसला = question

وہ تو خوش بو ہے ہواؤں مین بکھرجائگا
مسئلہ پھول کا ہے پھول کدھر جائگا
