This photo is recently been making rounds on the internet. The text, though a bit out of ‘qaafia’ and ‘wazan’ is self-explanatory.
For the past few years, writings on Rickshaw backs have started to emerge as a commentary on Pakistani society. We’ve covered them at ATP atleast three time. It also makes us curious whether it is the same rickshaw (see here and here) or different rickshaws with the same painter at work. Note the top most line and the words ‘Always Speak the Truth’ at the bottom are the same in all three rickshaw photos.
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 remember this great qata by Amjad Islam Amjad about khasaray ka budget, but cannot find it. Wish I could remember the words.
Nice but this time the budget does not really make life difficult for poor people
