Our Iqbal – Zareen Zubair

by admin on November 17, 2009

Holding close to the faith

I still find my self drifting

I want to listen but I cant hear his words

The noise is too loud 

How can a nation full of luck

Ignore the blessings of God?

He gave us Iqbal

The man of wise words

Yet we look beyond borders for answers

We have the answer 

The chaos we dwell in

Has solutions in Iqbal’s words

Words those gave us Pakistan

This noise will then go away 

I ask “Who am I?”

He tells me to look inside myself

A belief of self-belief

What more do we need? 

If every Pakistani is a shining star

Then we live in halo of galaxies and heavenly bodies

Why don’t we believe in the self?

When Iqbal believed in us 

The thinker

Who though of Pakistan

The lover

The lover of Allah

The believer

In the youth of this nation

The man

Born so close, sadly seems so far 

Pakistan Zindabad
