WATAN-E-QADEEM

 

Sometimes I wonder!

In the sprint of life

Why we are here?

What’s the mission of life?

 

I find the answer

Just to ignore

Busy in other affairs

No time to explore

 

But then it strikes

I start praying five times

I open the Quran to recite

Everyday the practice rhymes

 

I sit in a comforting chair

Wondering the bounties I’ve got

Health, happiness and family

The blessings I never sought

 

Feeling ashamed & embarrassed

I beseech towards Allah

To seek mercy and guidance

I pour my heart to Maula

 

Tears downpour with extreme

Guilt evident in my eyes

But I am confident and satisfied

My body trembling with cries

 

I love Maula more than anyone

He is the guide and the inspiration

I follow him in every walk of life

Never to let go his Daman

 

To cross Aalam-e-Hayula one day

To seek guidance of Panjatan

To drink the precious Hauz-e-Kausar

Returning back to the destined Watan

 

Watan-e-Qadeem as we know

From birth till the last we take

Our path is clear and clean

Till one day at heaven to awake
