“I promise you a grain of sand
Just one to help you understand
how well it keeps the dune in place
a mere speck upon this land!”
“I promise you a trace of the sea
Just one that helps you turn the key
And marvel at the waves that go
The heights they claim within their flow!”
“I promise you traces of dew
Just few that lead you to your clue
of thirsty blades that look in pain
and quench their thirst with dots of rain!”
“I promise you a spark of light
Just one to brighten up your sight
That holds your heart on sighting far
The beauty of a shooting star!”
The winds of change are on their way
I am compelled to have my say
The time has come to say good-bye
To ones who fail to justify!
Their glorious name, their fame to shame
Ancestral wealth that buys them health
Their words that never meet their deeds
Their false concerns, their hollow greed!
The hidden deals that sold our dreams
To power groups that drowned our screams
The selfish games that made their day
And left us all to die and pay!
I will not wait another day
To let them lead my fate their way
I am awake and see the norm
Democracy’s a mighty storm!
At first the dust just filled the sky
With outlines and just sketches weak
But as the vision came in sight
The picture wasn’t all so bleak!
He came aboard a little space
He had no spine to give him shape
He only had his fearless bow
And shot his arrows high and low!
“I don’t hide my face when I see you stare
The winds can blow as hard and as fierce
These strands of time that outline my face
Give way to honesty’s shine and shimmer!”
“I don’t close my eyes when the first rays fall
The glare may spill some water like a tear
I rise above to welcome each morning
Eyes depicting the soul’s purity and spirit!”
“My hands are not to cover my face at all
They reach out to help you stand safe and tall
I embrace you knowing your fears and your needs
An open book, no closets for me no mysteries!”
“Smiles blossom on my face, colours of the truth
The curves all go right up to the ears
And they don’t twitch at horrific confessions
Heart a spacious room with no walls or edges!”
“I promise you a fragment of my dream
Just a clip to help you join the stream
A thriving country, at the very next station
The PTI dreams of a self-reliant nation!’
May Allah help him to achieve what he has set out to do. If Allah Wills anything can be accomplished, even Pakistan can be reformed! Sincere duas for a Pakistan that IK dreams of.
