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

I most certainly completed my engineering from N.E.D university of engineering and technology, in first division. Thanks for visiting my work and my Persian back ground….would love to be of any assistance if you should need, ‘ll be happy to be assist.
I just had to bump this topic… found two more of Iqbal’s Farsi poems sung by Shehki for PTV’s celebrations of Iqbal’s centenary in 1977… enjoy:

Since I had earlier bemoaned the loss of Farsi in Pakistan, I would also like others interested in learning it to take a look at these lessons:

I have been using these off and on for the past few years, but after discovering Shehki’s Farsi work, I have been going through the lessons rigorously these last few weeks… they are about 20 years old, and colloquial Farsi has changed since, as all languages do, but these lessons remain a great place to start…
Man Farsi Yaad Mi Giram… Zuban-e-Farsi Kheli Shireen Ast!
Slaam, Please can someone tell me where I can find a song he sung at the PTV 25th anniversary or one of PTV awrads, I believe it was inspired by some Spanish song…….it will be much appreciated
Nostalgic, you are correct about Shehki’s background. His father was in Pk foreign service. Mother is of persian descent and he stayed in Pak for education. Infact Shehki went to NED University, karachi for Engineering degree. Whether he completed his engineering or not, that part i don’t know.
