WITH all respect to them who so lovingly cherish the fond memories of late Brohi Sahib (``, page 18, Sept 13), it may be said that the couplet quoted from the great English poet Alexander Pope (1688 - 1744) from his poem `The Quiet Life` somewhat reads as under
“Thus let me live, unseen, unknown; / Thus unlamented let me die; / Steal from the world, and not a stone / Tell where I lie.”
(Source The Golden Treasury, paperback, page 92 published by The New American Library, New York, in 1961).
Ghalib`s “ Rahiyay ab aisy jaga ......” appears to have been conceived in the same disposition.
Incidentally the late Brohi Sahib was one of the eminent jurists who interviewed me way back in 1968 when I applied to the then West Pakistan Bar Council for a licence to practise law.
