My name

My name is Karamat,

Comes from Pakistan,

It’s Urdu, you see.

My uncle gave it to me.

 

It gets used and abused.

 

Some pronounce it kara-mat and some just a plane K

Others kramat

And others ramat

And others still kramatt.

In some parts of my Hometown, people even call me Karamjit.

 

My uncle didn’t expect it to be abused, only used, properly.

He thought it was beautiful.

It really* is!

 

It means miracle, best written in Urdu.

 

Just ask if you are not sure how it goes.

 

*Thank you Bradley
