Khalid Irfan – a Urdu poet from New York (see here and here) sends his latest poem on the floods of Pakistan.
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

After watching what we ‘Pakistanis’ did to two brothers in Sialkot, I understood the rationale behind this flood.I fact I think Allah is extremely merciful and forgiving.this flood is nothing.What we deserve is total annihilation.Why???coz we can no longer be counted among human race.we r just a big blob of trash which should be wiped off of the face of earth.I felt thoroughly ashamed of my nationality after watching the video of street justice being handed out in Sialkot.SHAME ON PAKISTANIS.SHAME ON ALL OF US
This nation deserves wrath of ALLAH, seriously, what happened last week in Sialkot, i am afraid mighty Allah will send far much bigger and worst disasters to this country.
Poetic Translation of the plight of the flood affectees and Pakistan. Great Work…
Like the last line: “na-iitibaari ka sael-i-rawaan”
Nice sentiments, although little poetic credit.
