Pity the nation …

Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting;
and farewells him with hooting;
only to welcome another with trumpeting again

(Khalil Gibran — Pity the nation)

Eye Candy

Thinking to think
For
Wishing to wish
That
Dreaming to dream
Is
Loving to Love
And
Admitting to admit
The
Feeling to feel
But
Sustaining to sustain

Looking to look

Trusting to trust

Prayers for Pakistan

I Pray
We regain the lost dignity of ourselves
The dignity which once patently belonged to our forefathers
But it does not belong to ours

I Pray
We understand there exist no provincial boundaries
The boundaries that divide our thoughts and aims
May we remove major and minor differences amongst

I Pray
We fulfill the ambition of Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal
And all those who struggled in the freedom movement of Pakistan
To see this Nation one of the greatest nation in the world

I Pray
All the internal and external conspiracies proceeding against Pakistan come to an end
And we get unite to fight against the faction
May we dispatch it

I Pray
Our leadership of Pakistan become sincere to the Nation
Pakistanis become sincere to the Nation too
May Allah bring all of us to some sanity

I Pray
Instead of getting inspired by West
We make our own flourishing identity
And make world inspired by Pakistan and Pakistanis

I Pray
Corruption come to an end in Pakistan
Equity and Justice prevails
May we learn to distinguish between Right and Wrong

I Pray
Sohni Dharti Allah Rakhey Qadam Qadam Aabaad Tujhey

Aameen. Summa Aameen

The Land of Pure

The Land of Pure — We live;
Often, the land is plaintive

Borne huge sacrifices, we got this land;
We’ve an obligation, not to make it disband

For we’ve a liability to this nation;
We oughtn’t to harvest here any faction

History proves ascendents as glorified, it can be proved again;
We, can do and we would do, industriously, all that to attain

To make a difference in every little and big way;
We need to be fair, all the night and all the day

Let’s promise today, we won’t let the nation hamper;
We’ll, with all our efforts, vow to make it prosper

Was Opened, now Closed

The gateway to atone is open, our hearts are closed;
The example is open, our glories are closed

The world is open, our well deeds are closed;
The invitation is open, our acceptances are closed

Division is open, our unities are closed;
Selfishness is open, our altruisms are closed

The title (Muslim) is open, our followers are closed;
The book (Quran) is open, our eyes are closed

The enemy is open, our morals are closed;
The destiny is open, our pursuits are closed

The personality is open, our identities are closed;
The hypocrisy is open, our honesties are closed

The God’s law is open, our assents are closed;
The God’s justice is open, our fairness are closed

The dream is open, the interpretations are closed;
The vision (of mine) is open, the referees are closed;

Everything is open, our comprehensions are closed;
The example is open, our glories are closed
