There is a very famous "ghazal" (an urdu poem) which you must have heard if you are an Indian or a Pakistani. It goesdeeps said:
Yeh Na thi hamari Kismat, ki visaal-e-yaar hota.
Trans : It was not in my destiny to meet my beloved
The second line of one of the shairs (couplets) from the same poem is what I quoted.
Ke khushi se mar na jaate agar aitbaar hota.
Trans : If you actually believed that wouldnt you have died of the shock of excess pleasure
Now go back to the original [post and see the context

I like the look of that however.. i dont think Afridi should be batting as low as 8.. and i think my number 11 would be Kaneria.. given his form.. and the way he continues to show improvement and ability..
PAKMAN said:Yeah they have plenty sport factories there ,football,cricket hockey they famous for
its also the birth place of the national poet of pakistan DR mohammad iqbal ,who happened to writr the indian national anthem
The Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian national anthem from a song written
and composed by the Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore on January 24, 1950.
Before this Vande Mataram written by Bankim Chandra Chattapadhya
was the National Anthem of India.
Later Constituent Assembly of India,( Vol.XII, 24-1-1950) opined:
"The composition consisting of words and music known as Janaganamana
is the National Anthem of India, subject to such alterations
as the Government may authorise as occasion arises, ..."

Sourav to come in at No. 3 
- Younis Khan unwell, doubtful for kochi One-dayer
LOKENDRA PRATAP SAHI
Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar will open in Kochi
Kochi: A different opening combination was seen in each of the three ODIs against Bangladesh, over three months ago. However, the one which did duty in the last face-off — Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag — will be seen in a similar role here, versus Pakistan.
The six-match series gets underway on Saturday.
According to The Telegraph’s sources, captain Sourav Ganguly is going to bat at No.3 and will (as of Thursday night) be followed by: Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan and Lakshmipathy Balaji.
Out of contention, then, are Dinesh Mongia, Murali Kartik and Ashish Nehra.
While the Indians don’t have worries over fitness (at least), the visitors are concerned about in-form vice-captain Younis Khan’s illness.
Younis, MoM in the Bangalore Test, is down with a chest infection-induced fever. “He’s being treated, but I’m not sure if he’s going to be fit for Satu rday," remarked manager Saleem Altaf.
Pakistan, it may be recalled, have won the last four ODIs against India.
Lanka visit uncertain
Meanwhile, there’s uncertainty over the proposed visit by Sri Lanka for five ODIs immediately after the series versus Pakistan — thanks, of course, to the problem between Sri Lanka Cricket and the government.
