The caged lion, Mian Sher,  is no more. It breathed its last in the world famous Ghora University Hospital and Medical Centre.

A bird flying over Peshawar sees rivers of blood. A bird flying over Lahore sees the marvelous engineering works which changed the way ordinary people live and work and carry out their daily activities and bombing of public places. More...

الديك 

نزار قباني

في حارتنا

ديك سادي سفاح 

ينتف ريش دجاج الحارة ،

The Rooster

Nizar Qabbani

he plucks feathers off the hens in the street

clucks at them

chases them

has his way with them

and abandons them

and does not remember the names of the chicks

Letter to Brother Abdullah

Hakim Hazik

Dear Brother Abdullah,

He has defied the Islamic court in Islamabad and has made good his escape with the help of his vassals in a Nissan off-roader. He has escaped to Chak Shahzad, where he has dug himself in and raised the banner of rebellion. More...

“Man is a social animal” and can not live alone. Human history shows a constant evolution of different lifestyles as adaptation to the environment is a continual, cultural and learned process. At first, humans started dwelling in caves and forests and they were merely hunter- gatherers. As populations grew, there was an increased demand of food and greater dependence on plants.

Our new generation is being corrupted from the inside. Fifth columnists have infiltrated the Punjab Text Book Board which is being run by the enemies of the ideology of Pakistan. The tree of ideology which was so carefully nurtured by the Shaheed Mustache ul Haq with the help of Tara Masih and brought to ultimate fruition by Syed Drone ul Ummat, Maulana Munawar Hasan, has been hollowed out by no less a person than the Chief Servitor of the masses, the prodigal son of Abbaji, the prodigal husband of three illustrious wives, the builder of the levitating bus, Mian Shehbaz Sharif.

Meray Aziz Hamwatno,

Do you know the fifth kalma? I know that and the names of the 124,000 prophets.

The time is now. It can not be delayed any more. We have to finish the unfinished agenda of the Partitions. No, not to take back Kashmir but to drive out the infidels, the heretics, those who hold partners with God, those who hold partners with the GHQ, liberal secularists, secular liberalists and Asma Jahangir.
