hey @ fellow pakistanis. i’ve been in tears all day so here are some things that might soothe your heart a little bit (they’ve helped me)

• this poem (lab pe aati hai dua)
• this gahne (umeed-e-sahar)
• another poem (this is actually has been used as a lullaby in my family for generations) (can you tell i love iqbal)
• also i called george w bush shaytaan once when i was five 

if you’re not pakistani feel free to reblog for someone who is. stay safe. their footsteps will be heard in jannah. 

stop signing petitions or doing anything that urge the us to respond to what happened in pakistan when you can’t name a time the us ever responded to tragedies in islamic nations without killing hundreds of civilians 

you’re pretty much orchestrating the death of even more children and a new war keep the us out of this

please reblog this version instead because i made a mistake in the original post and said pakistan was in the middle east + it’s important people know it’s not!!
