Calling All Translators (Arabic I think)

Diner

Hey All,

So the misses brings home some snappy pillowcases from Linens n Things and proceeds to open the packages . . .

We look down and see one of the cardboard inserts that holds the fabric stiff has some scrawls from a ballpoint pen on it but we can't make out what it says - I believe it's freehand Arabic cursive but can't be certain . . .

So I decided to open up this mystery to my fellow Typophiles to help us figure out what it says . . . Think you know? Let's all find out together shall we? :D

Thanks in advance for your help . . .

Stuart :D

Where were the pillowcases made?

According to the packaging label, Pakistan . . .

So my guess is that it's Urdu - I'll ask Ali, one of our font PM's to take a look.

Any takers?

I've had a confirmation that it's Urdu. No translation though. Good luck!
