Dear Pakistan,
With special permission, I am allowed to print a wonderful poem that has recently been written by a known poet. We really liked it and wanted to publish it.
Poem – Imran Khan – Candle in the Dark
Dear Imran Khan,
This poem is dedicated to you. Irrespective of the outcome of the elections, you have won the hearts of the millions of Pakistani’s. You have given meaning to life in a world that has become moribund, stable, helpless and valueless. You have inspired the dreams and hopes of the future generations of Pakistan. You have given light in a dark alley. You have lit Pakistan. Your existence is a leadership training activity for the youth and people of Pakistan.
In the annals of history
As the pen of time writes on the paper of hope
It will write about happiness embarked on petal lips, hope and prosperity
Happiness of our generations as they play freely in lavish green fields
Tranquility cannot be divided into sectarianism, violence and casts
Serenity within us will speak in undulated tones
Happiness is you and me
Smile is the language of a free Pakistan
Life will write about Hope as our future unfolds to new frontiers
And prosperity of our breaths as they cascade into tomorrows
Our lives will have meaning.
Our dreams, hopes, and ambitions
Will turn into flowers, daffodils, and stars
That is what we believe
That is what Imran Khan stands for
Our roads will take us to our schools, colleges and universities
No child will be left wondering how to write and read
Each beating heart will resonate with your passion
We have signed our future, life and dreams to you
Change is inevitable
Change is the season of our skin
The bark on our wooden hearts
And the drifting noise of the waters of our souls
Pakistan
Has a candle burning in the dark
A candle that has ignited us all
A flame that will last forever
