Veteran cricketer Shahid Afridi Wednesday shared a heartfelt note for his daughter, Ansha, expressing his feelings over her marriage with Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi.
The wedding ceremony took place in Karachi a day earlier.
Following their engagement two years ago, the couple had tied the knot in an intimate nikah ceremony held in February this year.
In an emotional and moving post on X, formerly Twitter, the former cricketer wrote Urdu couplets for his daughter.
"Aya tha ghar main noor abhi kal ki baat hai
Rukhsat bhi ho raha hai wo ankhon kay saamney
Dooba hua bhi hai terey baba ka dil magar
Umeed subh-e-nau isey ayi hai thamney," Afridi wrote.
Along with the couplet, the former Pakistan captain shared two photos of himself with the newly wedded couple. In both images, taken from the back, Afridi is seen lovingly holding onto his daughter and son-in-law in a pleasant mood.
آیا تھا گھر میں نور ابھی کل کی بات ہے

رخصت بھی ہو رہا ہے وہ آنکھوں کے سامنے
ڈوبا ہوا بھی ہے ترے بابا کا دل مگر
امید صبح نو اسے آئی ہےتھامنے
