Masih, whose parents swept the streets for a living, has now become eligible to be appointed as a judge after successfully passing the Punjab Public Service Commission Exam.
A resident of Christian Colony Okara, Masih hails from a modest background but that did not deter his ambition.
“I use to go to Sahiwal every day to prepare for my exam. After coming back home, I would give tuition till late into the night,” he said.
Masih stated that he was extremely grateful to God, his parents and his family for the unwavering support and belief in his abilities.
“He has worked day and night for this. He barely had time for himself or the family but now all his hard work has paid off,” said his wife, Arzoo Masih.
His father Sardar Masih retired from Tehsil Council Okara a while ago but his mother, Fazila Bibi continues to work as a sanitary worker.
The entire family is thrilled at Masih’s achievement.
“We are very proud that our son has got an education towards such an honorable job. It means all our hard work has paid off,” said Fazila Bibi.
The entire Christian community joined Masih in his celebration. He is now considered a role model for those who dream of changing their circumstances.

Congratulations.... you made us hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel :)
Labha in Punjabi means found....he represents a lost ( Gwachi ) hope in Pakistan. ( Lost-Gwacha, Found- Labha).......
I am absolutely delighted for Zeeshan. Pakistan is changing and one day he will be potentially a President of Pakistan. Look at President RK Narayana of India, he belonged to an economically weaker sect of society just like Zeeshan Labha Masih called Dalits in India and C-Word in Pakistan.
I would like to think that somewhere in Jannah, our beloved Quaid is smiling. Go all the way Zeeshan, the nation is with you.

Congratulations! Zeeshan and Arzoo. Zeeshan, may you become the Chief Justice one day. Remember Justice Cornelius? He was also the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan . You have proved that every poor Pakistani has a right to reach high offices. With dedication and hard work it is possible.
My God does the nation need such wonderful stories in such dark times ! Best prayers for you on your achievement Mr. Zeeshan!
Yes we can!!
Love to hear such news !!! Bless u
amazing wish him good luck
This story makes me so happy...
Congratulations to you, your parents, family and friends. It is really admirable in the land of Pak where only the Sunnis could rule and misrule.I myself a Sunni but follow the teachings of our religion which tells us to treat others the way we want to be treated. Good luck to you.
I am so happy for them. Hard work really pays off. I am not sure no one had to work harder than Zeeshan. I hope the youngster in Pakistan learn from him instead of trying to rob and kill people to make easy money.
This is what Pakistan was meant to be all about...
Congratulations! A truly inspirational story
Congratz...mate...
