…and I translated this piece of Asad Muhammad Khan in memory of late husband.
Do not think we have forgotten you
Don’t think we have forgotten you
This mud was dear to you
Just know, to sleep, we laid you
The flowery years that has long-gone
We cherished every moment
Of you in those flowery years
We missed you every moment
Whom you always remained close to
To them even today, you are close to
People you loved dearly yesterday
You are still loved by them even today
You are father, brother, and son too
So are you a husband too
And pride for your motherland too
Like the Sun you were yesterday
Like the Sun you are today
