Mahmoud Darwish once wrote;
“Don't be absent for too long and ask about how I am, details die with time and stories change."
And Faiz Ahmad Faiz said;
“Ab bhe aye ho to ehsaan tumhara lekin, wo qayamat jo guzarni thi, guzar bhe gae aey dost.”
Mahmoud Darwish wrote:
“Maybe the moon is only beautiful
because it is far.”
And Wajid Shaikh said:
“Hasrat hi rahe toh behtar hain,
chaand haasil ho jaaye toh chaand nahi lagta.”
And this is not about moon.
This tragedy screams ‘Nero fiddled while Rome burned.’
My city was burning. Karachites were dying, crying, suffering… while leaders slept in comfort … celebrating weddings. This isn’t negligence, it’s cruelty. Shame on those in power. #Karachi#karachigullplaza
