Can An Inspiration Be Killed? Poem by Zulfiqar Ali Bhatti

Can An Inspiration Be Killed?

Rating: 4.8


They tried to kill you but
Can an inspiration be killed,
Your blood even strengthen hope
And faith in the dark hearts filled.

The candle of love that you lighted
Brought an end to the night of terror
You know betrayers always bring
Their disaster by their own error

They thought your voice will be
Silenced for ever with your death
Never knew that your martyrdom
Would give all souls a new breadth

Now in the bright sun-lit day that
Has been brought by your sacrifice
All the vicious villains will be chased
And be brought to an end every vice.
