Earthquake

vekho gazab khuda da, ye earthquake sarhad ka adab nahi karte thehro bhai ji, maaf karna mainu khulli gall punjabi karni paini ai

passport vakhende nai na visa mangde

pairaN hethoN nikal ke sirr te aa jaande ne nai mazhab kumazahbon jaat kujaaton sangde

application dende koi nayi daskhat order vehnde koi nayi

kar kurbanian peerhio peerhi thok usaari saadi hasti modha maar ke dha jaande ne vekho gazab khuda da
