In "Success," Kalim Rahi conveys the heartfelt sacrifice and dedication of a father in pursuit of a better future for his child. This evocative painting depicts a father carrying his son to school, seated atop four symbolic bags. Each bag represents the increasing burden that the father willingly bears for his son’s education. With just one bag, he could feed himself, with two, he could support his family, with three, he could provide basic education, but with four, he strives to secure an English-medium education, which requires even greater effort and expense.
 
The father continues to shoulder this heavy load until his son finally attains the "key to success"—the education that leads to a bright and prosperous future, referred to in the painting as the "golden time." However, Rahi's message extends beyond the son’s achievement.
 
The artist poignantly reminds viewers that once success is attained, one must never forget the sacrifices made by their father. It is the father’s unwavering support and efforts that laid the foundation for the son's success.
 
"Success" beautifully illustrates the timeless relationship between a father’s love, sacrifice, and a child’s future. It serves as a powerful reminder that the golden moments of achievement in life are not individual victories, but shared triumphs built on the foundation of a parent’s hard work and dedication. This painting celebrates both the journey to success and the importance of honoring those who make it possible.
