I Am Sorry Pakistan On 14th August, Independence Day Poem by Shamin Bashir Shah
I Am Sorry Pakistan On 14th August, Independence Day
You gave me so much,
But I gave you nothing but pain.
You gave me the freedom I yearned,
But in return I bind you in chains.
You gave me the identity,
But I took that from you.
You gave me a place I could call home,
But I left you scared, deserted and alone.
Oh! I am so sorry Pakistan,
Forgive me for burning you alive.
Forgive me for letting you down,
Forgive me for all the times a finger was pointed at you.
Forgive me for being silent at times when I had to stand for up for you.
Forgive me for giving you the recognition of a terrorist country,
Forgive me for making you the charity box.
There is so much to say,
And so much to apologize for…..
If you cut my veins, I bleed Pakistan,
I ache when you ache, Pakistan,
I am because of you, Pakistan.
Happy Birthday!

Shamin, this is a great poem. This has a lot of emotion in it and sounds deep from the heart. It inspires me that I should write a poem to my country. Our Independence Day is July 4. It was brave of you to publish this in the face of so much political unrest. Thank you for sharing this excellent poem. Keep up your good work.
