Duty Comes First Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

Duty Comes First
I am dead tired I want to sleep never ever to awake
My conscience dictates me to take complete rest
Where main thoughts encircling in mind true or fake
Then I think human in all creations remain best

My eyes are burning with tears to show they are red
I do know survival is difficult under circumstances
I think to be alone and should go for dreams in the bed
Age tells on me to tell me about all available chances

My duties are in my mind and soul to be performed
I am a soldier to work, work and work till I but die
My conscience helps me to feel fit and feel reformed
My soul tells me do good like a soldier before I fly

I don't mind any misries difficulties before death
Duty comes first always and every time my friend
A soldier always remains on duty till his last breath
He never submits never retires never ever to bend
