Meri nazar utarney wale aur woh sadqa dete haath. Kitni saari baatein thin jo kehni thin tab bhool gaya. Mere haath se chhoot rahe the jab woh tere thandey haath – I got tired of searching for those hands that used to give me Eidi, protect me through their prayers, and give sadqa. There was still so much I wanted to say when I saw myself losing my mother right before my eyes.” Watch here:

I humbly ask you to please remember my mother, my father, and my sister in your prayers.
