My dear Mir Zafar Hasan, youâre one lucky person. You are an exceptionally good poet and at the same time youâre extremely fortunate. You are Mir, but you can be Zafar, and you can also be Hassan whenever you feel the need for it. You can be a Sunni, and you can turn into a Shia if you so desire. But I, Jaun Elia, despite being an agnostic, will always be a Syed. Isnât it sad?â
