یہ وہ لمحات
جو آج خان صاحب نے بتایا
وہ لمحات جب پورے پاکستان کی دل کی دھڑکنیں رک گئی تھیں ، لاکھوں مائیں اللّه تعالی سے الجا کر رہی تھیں اور زبانوں پے بس ایک ہی دعا تھی یا اللّه عمران خان کی حفاظت فرما ۔
اللّه نے ان لاکھوں ماؤں کی دعائیں رد نہیں pic.twitter.com/IRU0A6eW4S— Zartaj Gul Wazir (@zartajgulwazir) March 20, 2023
