Find the Qibla with the sun (no compass)

At Zawal today (11:50 AM in Lahore) the sun is due south, so every shadow points due north. Stand facing along your shadow, then turn 100° to your left: you are facing the Qibla. The shadow method works any day; only the time of Zawal changes.

How to face the Qibla in Lahore

Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by 260° (west). With a phone, the Yaad-e-Namaz app's Qibla compass does this for you and corrects for the difference between magnetic and true north. Hold the phone flat and away from metal and magnets.
