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

This is not Arabic, its pseudo-religious Pakistani Arabic, that’s the fun/funny part. There is hardly any Punjabi in the poem. The comments on YouTube give credit to Aftab Iqbal of Nawai Waqt as the author. Any ideas?
I have never been a fan of Pakistani rock, but some interesting stuff is starting to come out this year. No real musicians were used in the making of Boney M “music”. I wonder what made you think of them. yes, I am that old also.

It’s humor like this (the basant poem) that pierces through the pal of gloom that covers Pakistan these days and lets in some sunlight. It also gives you hope that the darkness will not last.
