Actor Zara Noor Abbas is embracing motherhood with boundless love and gratitude, and her latest Instagram post is a heart-melting testament to that.

The Parey Hut Love star took to social media to celebrate her daughter, NooreJahan’s first birthday with an emotional note that sums up the joys of being a “girl mom.”

In her latest Instagram post, Abbas can be seen standing in front of a wall adorned with precious moments from her little one’s first year. In one of the pictures, she holds her baby close, while in another, she gazes lovingly at a photo of her. But it’s her caption that truly tugs at the heartstrings.

Reflecting on the past year, Abbas wrote, “And just like that… a year has passed and here I am celebrating the love of my life. My heart. My Daughter.”

She went on to note that being a girl mom meant giving birth to a best friend — someone to share dreams, laughter, and unconditional love with.

“Something about being a girl mom. You give birth to your best friend. Or someone you aspire to would become your partner in everything. Oh God! Oh God! The blessing that I feel every second of my existence.”

Thanking God for her daughter, she shared, “My NooreJahan — your Amma is madly in love with you and she feels she has the world at her feet just because you are with her.”

Her words painted a picture of everyday moments that make motherhood fulfilling — from her daughter’s tight hugs before she leaves for work to the unmatched joy of seeing her eyes light up upon her return. “Especially your eyes, when they are looking for me. And those giggles and cuddles that are unmatched by any success in this world. I cherish it all.”

Those sleepless nights parents of toddlers experience? Abbas expressed gratitude for those. “Especially the numerous times when you wake up in the middle of the night and don’t let me sleep, and I get late to work.”

Ending her message with a heartfelt prayer, Abbas wished for her daughter to have a long, beautiful life filled with happiness and kindness.

She also hinted at a letter she has written for her baby — a letter she hopes to read with her someday. “The remainder of my love is in the letter I wrote for you. Hopefully, if God wills, we both will read it together some day. I will write many more letters to you. InshAllah!”

Happy First Birthday to Abbas’ little princess!
