They all are living their lives there but the whole city of Fateh Jang was really thankful for Aslam Kazmi for working so hard and making a college the first very college in that city which still exists. The city Fateh Jang still can not forget the Kazmi Family for all of their hard work and becoming so famous in that city and building their name that every little child to an old man knows who they are not just who Aslam is but his children Mohsin and Ahsan and then their children Hashir, Waseet, and Shahir.
