National Poets Poem by Afzal Shauq

To whom this concerns...
Hey Shauq..!
Here everyone
ready to fight.
Though the poets
have fastened their knives
and swords to their waists
like the soldiers
standing beside
tombs of dead Mughals
They write the songs of freedom
as if they are children of Khushal khan
while the other Pashtoons
belong to the enemy King Aurangzeb.
