The Son Who Assassinated His Mother - Daftar-e-Dom
Interesting Fact
अनुवादः मिर्ज़ा निज़ाम शाह लबीब
A woman in one of the city's poorer neighborhoods had been sleeping with every male that approached her. Her son stormed into her bedroom one day, unable to handle the shame any longer. With his dagger, he attacked her, stabbing her repeatedly till she died.
His will was unwavering, and he stormed out of the house, his clothes soaked with her blood. He wandered aimlessly through the neighborhood's back streets for several hours until a friend came across him and overheard his confession.
However, my friend, why did you murder her? I'm not sure what you're talking about, his companion said, bewildered.
She was a harlot who humiliated me every day! exclaimed the young guy, enraged that his friend had misinterpreted his true intentions and was now interrogating him.
How come you didn't kill her lovers? Why would you kill her? repeated the perplexed friend.
I'd have had to kill a man every day! reasoned the disturbed man. This way, her humiliation will be buried with her forever, and I won't have to commit another murder.
