Chandigarh, September 2

Sharafat Parwani, a popular Afghan singer, who was evacuated from Afghanistan after Taliban takeover, was spotted singing in a video that has gone viral on social media.

The video appears to have been captured at a US Military base or a refugee camp.

New York Times reporter Sharif Hassan shared the video along with a translation of the lyrics. “Your tired of anguish, my homeland. Your without song and melody, my homeland. Your pained but without medicine, my homeland,” read the caption of the clip, which has now gone viral.

The clip has left netizens emotional, with many saying they are praying for the people of Afghanistan.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
