The Magic of SabRang
(رعنا تبسم پاشا, Dallas, USA)
Ever since I became aware I have seen the SabRang Digest arriving at our home.
Then, gradually its publication became irregular, sometimes it would arrive after months. The navigator of this boat, Respected Sir Shakeel Adilzada, turned it into an annual edition, but he never compromised on its quality.
Then I heard that SabRang had shut down. At times, I heard it had been sold and was now being published under a different team. I still don’t know the exact truth but the ones who truly loved SabRang ….. my parents are no longer in this world. They passed away still waiting for the last episode of “Bazigar”.
May Allah bless Shakeel Adilzada with a long life and good health. No one knows why he never brought this story to its conclusion. For a magician of pen and page, completing this spell should not have been difficult.
And what would the new generation know of the magic of that era? Only those few who remain from the previous generation who are still around carry a corner of their hearts filled with the memories of SabRang and the longing for Bazigar.
Now, only they can truly feel the joy and allure that its completion. At the very least, it would have been wonderful if this masterpiece had reached its end during their lifetime.
From the treasures of this world-renowned magazine’s past, the gems and jewels have been gathered and published in the form of a collection and now the Eighth masterpiece has also been released. No amount of praise is enough for Mr. Hasan Raza Gondal, the passionate soul behind this unparalleled project, a true devotee utterly consumed by the love of SabRang, the one who has embodied that passion through action. The feat he has accomplished, dedicating the best of his life, resources, and energies to this mission, and the way he continues to devote himself is truly without precedent.
Indeed, this passionate soul Hasan Raza Gondal has achieved what perhaps, the legend Shakeel Adilzada may have once only dreamed of. The individuals Gagan Shahid and Amar Shahid, who have supported the realization of this matchless masterpiece, are also worthy of appreciation and admiration. Together, they have rekindled the magic of SabRang, lighting up the memories of all those who remain devoted and enchanted by its spell even today.
May they remain safe and blessed.
