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

Now we are lost, the town of Prem Nagar.
I am modifying myself, not a hand or foot.
Khudiye lost his title, leaped his word, then went on
The first turban was the first home, who would be Nirvair?
Bula haha hai hai bhi jahinin, no jahna hai gaire
Wow

There are very few classical poets whose had influence on literature similar to Ghalib. His verse like Mir were rather simple but deep at the same time.
In India, Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh were first to put Kalam e Ghalib to mainstream, in form of Gulzar’s drama Mirza Ghalib.
In Pakistan, Ghalib has been sung by many legends, e.g. Yeh Na Thi Humari Kismet by Tina Sani at https://www.thesufi.com/tina-sani-sings-ye-na-thi- hamari-qismat-by-mirza-ghalib/
