Pakistan – A 75 Years Old Poem
The following poem written by my late father, Syed Shahab Uddin Ahmad (1919-2000) former Lecturer of Chemistry, Aligarh Muslim University, Principal, Charmical Degree College Rangpur (East Pakistan), Academic Registrar, Rajshahi University (East Pakistan), G.M. Lyallpur Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited (PIDC & NFC) Jaranwala & General Manager, National Fertilizers Corporation of Pakistan, was originally published in the DAWN in early 40’s. Later on, this poem was also published by Syed Sharif Uddin Peerzada, in a book titled ” UNPARDONABLE CRIME OF JINNAH ” in October 1942. One of the rarest copies of this book is with me.
” P A K I S T A N “
They say ’tis “vivisection”
Of the Indian nation
In an unknown fashion.
It is an idler’s dream,
A confused scream
For a selfish scheme.
‘Impracticable’
‘Unimaginable’,
Is how they babble.
And when meet their seers,
With crocodile tears
They expose their fears.
But these are morbid libels
From sworn but feigned infidels,
Wearing varied labels.
Preposterous, pretentious,
Hypocritical notions.
Disguised resolutions.
Phantastic desire.
To be India’s sire.
Is what they aspire.
In the name of democracy,
With numerical supremacy,
Is their game of diplomacy.
But we can’t be daunted
By sarcasms taunted.
Or vain fears haunted.
We want India’s deliverance,
To save it from decadence.
And without a vengeance.
A home for us secure.
Also for them quite sure.
Without a basely lure.
On justice, fairplay, equity
Behold Pakistan’s quality
Won’t it stand till eternity?
