iFaqeer

AvatarTaking the guise of the poor, the dervishes, we, O Ghalib,
Watch the spectacle of the blessed; of power and pelf
—Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

بنا کر فقیروں کا ہم بھیس غالِب
تماشأے اہلِ کرم دیکھتے ہیں

banaa kar faqeeroN ka hum bhais Ghalib
thamaasha-e-ehl-e-karam dhaikthay haiN

The photograph is from The Daily Times of today (29th June, 2006), and the place is the very interestingly named "Pak Colony" in Pakistan's largest city.

Do I really need to say more? Click on the picture and go to the newspaper's page, if you want the full context.
