Bismillahir
Rahmaanir Raheem
Sultan Mahmood
Ghaznawi gave a ring to his servant Ayaaz and said:
“Engrave such wording on it that if I
see it when I am happy, it will make me sad; and if I am sad, it will make me
happy.”
Ayaaz engraved:
“THIS MOMENT WILL SOON PASS.”
(moment of
happiness / moment of sadness)
