Mr. Zamurrad Khan has become in an overnight the symbol national unity. Mr. ZK the nation salutes you and if I were the PM Pakistan I would have immediately paid a courtesy call at your residence to pat you on the back and to thank you on behalf of the government and the entire nation for your act of bravery and uniting the nation from Khyber to Karachi.

Honourable Zammurad Khan Sahab, the nation salutes your bravery and beyond the call performance of national duty. You deserve NISHAN-e-HAIDER award.

I am at a loss to comprehend why no statement praising the bravery of Mr. Zamurrad Khan from any PMLN, PTI, MQM, ANP, JI and other political parties?

I was really exalted and felt immense joy when recently the Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif said that his government in not only the government of PMLN but its the representative of the entire nation.

However, the following list of the persons approved for various high level national awards, speaks for itself and forces us to look for any differences between the past rulers and the present ones.

1. Irfan Siddiqui (columnist) for Hilal-i-Imtiaz.
2. Ata-ul-Haq Qasmi (Literature) for Hilal-i-Imtiaz.
3. Ahad Khan Cheema (Civil Servant) Pride of Performance.

Learning is the process of gaining knowledge.

Actually the entire Pakistan is holding its breadth and also keeping its fingers crossed, when the Indians will put the submarine blast blame on Pakistan?

Pakistan – A 71 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?

“You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.”
