Maryam Nawaz tweets ‘Faiz’ from jail

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz on Saturday tweeted for the first time since her incarceration in the Avenfield reference.

The PML-N leader who is serving jail time along with her father, deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif in Rawalpindi’s Adiala Central Prison, tweeted a couplet by one of Urdu’s greatest poets Faiz Ahmed Faiz.

جس دھج سے کوئی مقتل میں گیا، وہ شان سلامت رہتی ہے۔
یہ جان تو آنی جانی ہے، اس جاں کی تو کوئی بات نہیں۔
گر بازی عشق کی بازی ہے، جو چاہو لگا دو ڈر کیسا۔
گرجیت گئے تو کیا کہنا، ہارے بھی تو بازی مات نہیں۔#VoteKoIzzatDo #ووٹ_کو_عزت_دو

The couplet by the revolutionary poet is the first tweet by the PML-N leader since July 13 when she was arrested along with her father in compliance with a July 6 court order in Avenfield case.
