Sialkot (Punjabi, Urdu: سیالکوٹ) is located in Pakistan in the north-east of the Punjab province at the foothills of snow-covered peaks of Kashmir near the Chenab river. It is the capital of Sialkot District. The city is about 125 km (78 mi) north-west of Lahore The recorded history of Sialkot covers thousands of years. Sialkot has, since its foundation, changed hands from Hindu, Buddhist, Persian, Greek, Afghan, Turk, Sikh, Mughal and British rule to that of present-day Pakistan.
There are various sources tracing the origins of the city of Sialkot but the authenticity of many of these sources varies. Excavations throughout the area have revealed large amounts of Greek coins, ancient Zoroastrian temples and several Buddhist stupas. The antiquities of Sialkot have also been discussed by Sir Alexander Cunningham in his Archaeological Survey Reports, II, 21, 22, and XIV, 44 to 47.
According to the Greek historical texts, which bring mention of the city of Sialkot dating back to before 327 BC when the city was known as Sagala, it represented the eastern-most outpost and expansion of the Hellenic Empire created by Alexander the Great which has been cross-correlated to ancient Greek maps of the era and several monuments found in the Sialkot District. The Greek historians state that the city was one of the most productive Silk regions of the Achaemenid Empire. Sákala or Sagala was the capital, or one of the capitals, of the Indo-Greek Kingdom which broke-away from the Greco-Bactrian Kingdom during the Euthydemid Dynasty
Phoolan Devi (Phulan Devi, Hindi: फूलन देवी) (10 August 1963 – 25 July 2001), popularly known as the "Bandit Queen", was an Indian dacoit (bandit) and later a politician. After being gang-raped by some upper-caste members of her village, Phoolan Devi turned a bandit, and authorised the killing of 22 upper-caste villagers in 1981. Following this, she became notorious across India as a bandit. Some people believe that most of her crimes were committed seeking justice for women's suffering, particularly those in the unfortunate lowest castes; however, the Indian authorities consider this a myth. She was once falsely imprisoned for seeking those involved in her rape to be tried for their crimes. Then made a martyr for exacting this revenge independently from authority and as part of a gang. Later, she surrendered and successfully contested election as a member of the Samajwadi Party. The 1994 film Bandit Queen was loosely based on her life.
Phoolan was born into the mallah (boatmen) caste, in the small village of Ghura Ka Purwa (also spelled Gorha ka Purwa) in Jalaun District, Uttar Pradesh. She was the fourth child of Devi Din and Moola.

After retiring from cricket at the end of the 1987 World Cup, he was called back to join the team in 1988. At 39, Khan led his teammates to Pakistan's first and only World Cup victory in 1992. He has a record of 3807 runs and 362 wickets in Test cricket, making him one of eight world cricketers to have achieved an 'All-rounder's Triple' in Test matches. On 14 July 2010, Khan was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.

Someone tells me somethin' --
Well I'm prepared to listen.
Nothin's goin' on, nothin's goin' on.
Standing next to no one,
Well that was my intention.
Nothin's goin' on, nothin's goin' on.
But then you're back and I'm guessing it's not so bad at all.
And I've been standing slackjawed since you were here.
Yeah, I've been standing slackjawed.
Something says this may be the strangest light I'll mention --
Someone left you on, someone left you on.
Saying next to nothing -- the words were my invention.
Someone left you on, someone left you on.
And now you're here and I'm thinking it's not so bad at all.
And I've been standing slackjawed since you were here.

Mir göh nümm viu zäme furt
meischtens geit sie allei
u mängisch chunnt sie de o ersch
gäge Morge wider hei
sie seit sie göng mit äre Fründin
nume chli gah si
u I bruche kei Angscht z`ha
wöu meh sigi da nid derbi
s`miech mir ja o nid viu us ,
we ni wüssti dass s`so wär
nume ihre z`glaube
das faut mir langsam schwär
Sie lügt
u I weiss nid warum ,
we sie seit s`sig e so e so
de weiss ig s`isch grad angersrum
sie lügt
u de macht si`s no schlächt
vilech meint sie I sig blöd
uvilech het sie ja recht
Lüge tuesch doch nume
we öppis nid stimmt
schüss weiss es doch jede
das Lgar nüt bringt
I has doch scho lang vernoh
dass sie mit Giele furt geit
u I weis nid wiso
dass sie nid d`Wahrheit seit
Sie lügt ...
I wait till everyone's asleep
Estoy, rodeado de soledad
Como una vela en el viento
Que observa morir poco a poco su luz
Oy veo tu foto en mi buro
Y rezo por que la distancia no podra
Borrarte mi recuerdo por que yo aun
Tengo tu aroma
(Coro)
No no puedo ya vivir (solo sin tu amor)
Asi no puedo mas, no aguanto esta soledad
No no puedo ya existir, solo sin tu amor
No vivo ya, sin ti no vivo ya, simplemente no puedo
Oy ya no soporto el dolor, ya nada tiene sentido
Mi alma quedo atrapada en tu piel
Hasta he pensado en renunciar
Y sellar mi vida
Pues no quiero seguir sin tu ternura
Sin tus ojos sin tus besos
Sin tu cuerpo
(coro)
No no puedo ya vivir, solo sin tu amor
Asi no puedo mas, no aguanto esta soledad
No no puedo existir,solo sin tu amor
No vivo ya, sin ti no vivo ya,
Simplemente no puedo.
(guitarra)
UHh. solo solo,
No no puedo ya vivir, (solo sin tu amor)
Asi no puedo mas, no aguanto esta soledad
No no puedo ya existir, solo sin tu amor
No vivo ya, sin ti no vivo ya,
This picture's wrong now paint in black
How did we get this bloody mess
This deep frustration drives me mad
Can't stand the beauty that I don't select
I'm gonna bury this today
It's gotta go that funny stuff
I'm glad you got it, yeah that's good
You wanna know how to thank me
And you probably should
You can take a minute to get me on the phone
Send a certified letter stamp it and it's gone
But if you wanna do it right
You can take all night
To say I like it
... somehow I knew
That you'd appreciate the gesture
And I bet you do
You can pick out something from the jewelry store
Have a dozen red roses waiting at my door
But if you wanna do it right
You can take all night
To say I like it
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
You can do this how you like
But no, no, no, no, no, no
I would rather do it right
7 money bunny, she don't want nothing
But your heart, soul
Better go, tell me what you're waiting for
[Guitar solo]
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
You can do this so polite, yeah
But no, no, no, no, no, no
I would rather do it right
All I'm asking is keep it to yourself
If I really need you happy come and ring my bell
But if you wanna do it right
You can take all night
To say I like it
If you wanna do it right
You can take all night
Jamie loves him but she doesn't want to leave this place today
She acts like everything's okay
B-Money, he could get the hunnies
But he chases them all away
And he blushes when they say his name
Did you really think it'd last for good?
Just jump ship like you would
Did you really think it'd last for good?
And every night, when he cries
He lies awake to realize
He's nothing without you
And though your picture still remains
Lying in that broken frame
He's nothing without you.
Terry's good at school but it drove him crazy
He dropped out because he's lazy
Now he works the night shift all alone
Sarah had a man but she lost him
To her best friend double crossin'
Now she knows what it's like to be alone
And did you really think it'd last for good?
Just jump ship like you would
Did you really think it'd last for good?
And every night, when he cries
He lies awake to realize
He's nothing without you
And though your picture still remains
Lying in that broken frame
He's nothing without you
He's nothing
He's nothing
He's nothing without you
Whoa, whoa
And every night, when he cries
He lies awake to realize
He's nothing without you
And though your picture still remains
Lying in that broken frame
He's nothing without you
And did you really think it'd last for good?
Just jump ship like you would
Did you really think it'd last for good?
Whoa, whoa
And did you really think it'd last for good?
Just jump ship like you would
Did you really think it'd last for good?
