Every flower wakes up daily
With the hush of the morning breeze
Every dewdrop that glistens on petals
Inside it some hope does freeze.
I look up at the canopy above
Turning from black to blue
And then I pray to my God
To make my every dream come true.
The dreams I have for my homeland
And a desire to see it great
May not wither like the dewdrop
That shines on the flowers' plate.
The day is hot and humid
And I am lying wounded and helpless
At least I can pass my moments
In easing my heart's distress.
A lot of blood has been spilled
To carve out this land of mine
Many have lost their loved ones
And many for many still pine.
O my Lord God Almighty,
Let not the barbaric feudal
Class not loot and plunder
The essence of my nation
And the vision of Jinnah's* splendour.
If I could I would rise and bring down
These ruling criminal class
That fools the masses saying
We are loyal to the "crown".
Just send on David* or Moses*
Or even a Samson* would do
Or send the liberating Al Mahdi*
The last hope of those 'true'.
First of all let me say, I'm so glad
you are still writing poetry...you
are very talented writer...I agree
with you about your homeland...
good luck...be safe....
