The picture, accompanied by the iconic Beatles song Hey Jude (Love Version), perfectly captured the essence of a mother’s love.
In her caption, Mahira wrote, “A 24-year-old me, looking at my entire world stare at me – my one and my only Azlan ❤️ 15.09.09.” She added a heartfelt prayer for her son and all children, “May Allah keep my Azlan and all children safe, may they be blessed with happy, healthy and long lives. May they choose the good path. May they always always be protected from evil. Ameen. Ameen.”
Drawing from the wisdom of her own mother, she continued, “As my Ama says – saari maaoun ke dil thanday rakh ya rabb. Ameen inshAllah.” In a nostalgic conclusion, she shared a personal tidbit, saying, “P.S. this is the song that was sung to Azzu the most while he was in my tummy and when he was born! He still loves the Beatles ⚡️ oh and MJ!”
Mahira’s post gave fans a glimpse into the deep bond she shares with her son and how music has played a role in their connection. It also brought back memories of her early life, when she was balancing a burgeoning career with the responsibilities of motherhood.
