Happy Birthday Pakistan Poem by Akhtar Jawad

With pains and tears with frustration and tears,
I see you now sixty eight, happy birthday,
May God bless you with an unending life!
And little character to the corrupt politicians!

Sweetheart, Pakistan is at war with Pakistan herself.
I was taught Pakistan was created for Islam,
It’s written in the constitution,
But none was sincere to it,
If sincere why they don’t clarify,
What’s Islam, Like Saudi Arabia,
Whereat lslam as explained,
By Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal,
Is the official Islam,
With no restrictions on other sects,
We have broken constitution and suspended it,
Amended it many times,
Why don’t we add a clause?
Clarifying that Islam means,
Islam believed by majority of Pakistani Muslims,
Are we afraid of powerful minorities?
Who are engaged in terror!
And our army is fighting with them,
And has made sacrifices,
I see thousands of widows,
And children of martyrs!
Or our political needs,
Don’t allow us to clarify Islam?
Whatever it may be but the failure,
To explain and implement Islam,
Is itself an attack on the roots of Pakistan!
Is the cause of a deadly civil war!
As minorities of Muslims want to impose,
Their Islam on an absolute majority!

Anyway, I love you Pakistan!
And I wish,
A happy, peaceful and prosperous lasting life,
Still not frustrated,
I am hopeful!
Like you sweetheart!
