Be The Commander Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

I can insult you I can abuse you but I don't want to lose you
You are part of my heart without heart body is just nothing
We are on a ship and by seniority I am commander of crew
I have steered ship through many odds let me share feeling

But now my son I have gone old and am ill to move further
So I hereby nominate you to be the commander in the future
Now my body is so weak my heart is to stop my vision is blur
Being son of a soldier, son I want to embellish values, culture

Let me handover to you command of the ship as successor
Please make the unit strong so that you can win over all odds
You have to be meticulous and exercise more patience in anger
My soul will be in solace when you will take care of my wards

Col Muhammad Khalid Khan
