The first tweet from Maryam Nawaz Sharif's official account since she was sent to Adiala jail on July 13 was posted today.

The grandeur with which someone goes to the gallows is remembered for a long time after

This life is fleeting

If it is a contest of devotion, then don’t fear and give it everything

It’ll be great if you win, but the battle is not lost even if you lose

The tweet is a snippet from a revolutionary poem by Faiz Ahmed Faiz.

It is unclear who is handling Maryam's social media accounts.
