وہ کم کم یاد رکھتا ہے زیادہ بھول جاتا ہے

وہ کم کم یاد رکھتا ہے زیادہ بھول جاتا ہے
ہمیشہ کر کے وعدہ اپنا وعدہ بھول جاتا ہے

ارادہ کر تو لیتا ہے وہ میرا ساتھ دینے کا
مگر اکثر یہ ہوتا ہے ارادہ بھول جاتا ہے

بھلا دیتے ہیں ایسے شخص کو سب خانداں والے
جو اپنی اصل ، اپنا خانوادہ بھول جاتا ہے

کشادہ گھر بنا لیتا ہے جو زردار ہوتا ہے
مگر رکھنا وہ اپنا دل کشادہ بھول جاتا ہے

اگر چالاک ہوتا یاد رکھتا تہمتیں سب کی
یقیں مانو کہ تائبؔ ہے جو سادہ بھول جاتا ہے

Data of Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) 2012-13 has been used. The analysis consists of two levels, at level one a descriptive analysis is carried out. As three different aspects of fertility are the count data. Therefore at the next stage models will be estimated by using poison regression technique and Incidence Rate Ratios (IRR) are reported. It has been found that women’s being empowered in financial matters, seeking health care and in household decision making are helpful in reducing fertility. Furthermore, participation in job by women, living in urban areas, having secondary or higher education, access to awareness created by the media, married at higher age are also significant factors in reducing fertility. However, women facing incidence of miscarriage or death of a child tends to increase the fertility. Study had found that wealth of the household, education of husband and having sons have very limited role on the fertility behavior.
