Here is the Urdu qata in Roman script:
Spoke to someone in Islamabad who told me that ordinary bakras are going for like Rs. 6000 or so and up to Rs. 10,000 or more. Is that correct? Given salaries how can middle class families even afford this? Links well with your next post.
Also there is crippling social pressure on parents and people in general to buy an animal for sacrifice.
This category will deserver the name “urdu” if it has posts really in Urdu.
آپ اردو میں کیوں Ù†Û
@ Bakra Kaun ?
Diqqaton mein, mushkilon mein
jo kharidah kehin say ik Bakra,
Adda ki hay wo qimat keh
basoorat-e- shaqq-e-qalb,
Yaqi’nan farq naguzir hay abb
Kharidar hay kaun,bakra hay kaun

Here is the Urdu qata in Roman script:
jo baRhatay hain bhao mandi ka
un ki man-maaniyouN kay aadi haiN
dain gay mehngai meiN bhi qurbani
hum tou qurbaniyouN kay aadi haiN
