Meenoun dus haan sheher lahore undur
kinney bovey tey kinniyan bariyan ney
Teenu dassan mein, sheher Lahore undur
Lakhan bowey tey lakhan bariyan ney
Meenoun dus khaan ethey diyaan khoiaan
kiniyan mithian tey kinniyan khariyan ney
Jinna khoiaan tou bharun mashook paani
ohon mithiyan tey bakki khariyan ney
Meenoun dus khaan ethey diyaan thanwan
kiniyan holiyaan tey kiniyaan pariyaan ney
Jinnhan thanwan tey ishq dhamal pai
ohon holiyan tey bakki pariyan ney

NYA, lets hear some of your eloquent recollections of this trip. You must tell us some of you infamous descriptions of any interesting characters that you might have run into..

Yara Ahmadi,
Visited Pak. a dozen times but didnt had the time nor a reason to visit Lahore. Would love to visit the place under one single condition, a good company. You owe me...
Details can be filled in some other place, some other time, under some other atmosphere.

I believe that I can make a darn good Tour Guide. I will give you a good discount.
You will give me a good discount huh? Now, thats what we call a contradiction. You want me to type all the first lessons of punjabi and english here?
Yaara..all you have to do it to just ask. I am game for any time, any where.
What the .... did you i think i was doin?
I will show you Lahore that no one knows about.
Thats the only Lahore i'm interested in.

Sarah,
I’m not a Lahori, and unlike fickle fakers like NYA I would never claim to be either. I’m from a pind in Punjab where you get woken by a steroid-enhanced kukkar at 3 am every morning. Inshallah the kukkar is dead by now.
Lahore’s my favourite city in Pakistan though. It’s just so chilled out and beautiful (and ugly) it couldn’t be better if it was designed. In fact cities like Islamabad which WERE designed can’t hold a candle to it.
Check these out:
Now why wouldn’t you want to see a place like this?

Here’s a nice aerial shot of the old city:

And this is a pic of the late Princess Di dressing up in her finest shalwar kameez while chatting to me in a chai shop in Anarkali bazaar:

Imran Khan was sitting to her left but she didn’t pay him much attention on the day. Maybe she just wanted to talk about fish 'n chips.
And here’s the type of billboard you might see advertising the latest Crummy film from Lollywood. As you can see they couldn’t even spell Bobby right.

I sure hope those billboards are still there…
That first pic is of Shalimar Gardens btw, a leftover from the Moghul era by most accounts.
Here’s the same place at night:

Does that look nice or what?
