I have writhing this with very Heavy heart …….
My DUA for this poor Nation
‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾
Koi urooj de na zawaal de,
Mujhe sirf itna kamaal de,
Mujhe apni raah me daal de,
keh zamaana meri misaal de
Teri rahmaton ka nuzool ho,
Mujhe mehnaton ka sila mile,
Mujhe maal o zar ki hawas na ho,
Mujhe bas tu rizq e halaal de.
Mere zahen me teri fikr ho,
Meri saans me tera zikr ho,
Tera khauf meri nijaat ho,
Sabhi khauf dil se nikaal de.
Teri baargaah me Aye Khuda,
Meri roz o shab hai yehi dua,
Tu Raheem hai Tu Kareem hai,
Mujhe mushkilon se nikaal de
A nation which is pushed into darkness, though educated but illiterate in vision and wisdom. Though illiterate but educated to socio-politico-econo-religious hatred, the pseudo “leaders, teachers, trainers, advisors, tutors, guides, consultants, counselors, and instructors” made this nation live in oblivion.
The pseudo “judges, journalists, and bureaucrats” compelled, coerced, and constrained this nation to plunge into the lowest of understanding, the nadir of morality, and the bottom of its objective: unity, faith, and discipline.
The pseudo molvis, mullahs, and molanas enshrined this nation with a destructive divide under “horror, hate, hostility, grudge, and enmity.”
The pseudo “intellectuals, anchors, scholars, doctors, lawyers, and academics” have done their best (in their own self-interest) to derail the nation from the path of progress and prosperity, and to ditch them into insensibility, carelessness, unawareness, and unmindfulness.
The pseudo “businessmen, merchants, stock brokers, dealers, industrialists, and capitalists” made the nation believe in hoarding, cheating, looting, deceiving, and defrauding if they want to live.
The pseudo politicians, above all, made the nation understand that there is nothing more than selfishness, that too with greed made its priority: cronyism, patronage, and booty.
“Live but don’t let live.”
The nation is made a mob of crooks, cheats, and criminals.
A nation which only believes in “relief, concessions, waivers, discounts, deals, grants, and support” from the government, and in return they want to “loot, plunder, launder, pillage, rob, and ransack” state money without any fear or folly.
The nation has no faith in education, health, justice, and safety.
Each and every national is worried about “his own livelihood” and worried about “jannah for others.”
A shameless mob of people having no respect for rules, regulations, and laws, even have no respect for each other.
Where we are going, what we are doing, nobody knows. Going without a destination…??
