Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

A beautiful post. I enjoyed reading it again. Sadly Shakir’s poetic vision by many is presented only as “just henna-dyed hands and the broken hearts of adolescent lovers.” About the poem ye haseen shaam apni I must say that Tina Sani has done a remarkable job. The entire composition from start till finish is incredible.
Classic post with a senstive thought!
Parvin Shakir was a versatile and superb poetess …. may Allah keep her soul in eternal peace… amin.
