یومِ آزادی مبارک ھو

Prayers for every one !

Tomorrow marks the 65th Independence Day of Pakistan and I take this opportunity to say "THANK YOU ALLAH KARIM" - تو نے پاکِستان دِیا and Happy Independence Day to Every Pakistani anywhere on the Globe. Pakistan is a Special Gift from Allahu Ta'ala عطیہ خداوندی - which unfortunately we have not been able to preserve, sustain and nurture. Allah Says in Quran :-

Which, then, of your Sustainer's Blessings can you disavow? AL-RAHMAN (55).

and

Verily, towards his Sustainer man is most ungrateful - and to this, behold, he [himself] bears witness indeed: AL-ADIYAT (100) : 6-7.

He carved out for us a homeland bestowed with everything people aspire for; plains, mountains, rivers. oceans, deserts, flora and fauna, minerals and all natural resources. Only thing we had to do was to think, explore, tap, find and do the things as ordained by Allah. We didn't - and the result is scarcity of everything including THE HUMANITY. We are at the receiving end of everything bad from every corner of the universe. It doesn't, though, seems likely that the people who matter in shaping the destiny of the Nation have learned anything.

Greed for Power, Wealth and Fortunes is insatiable - Corruption runs amok - Merit is dead since decades - Might is right ( جنگل کا قانون ) is the law of the land - ایک روپیہ چرانے والا چور اور اربوں کا ڈکیت لیڈر.

There is no cerebral effort, hence no plans, no agenda, no experts, no shadow cabinets, no talk of the future - Enjoy today کل کِس نے دیکھا ھے ؟ is the catchphrase and the manifesto.

Public servants both military and civilians have harbored the sinister desire of ruling and subjugating own nation since its inception.

AND WE BELIEVE IN ACCOUNTABILITY - BUT - ONLY FOR OTHERS.

ایسی صورتِ حال میں کرم کہاں سے اور کیونکر ھو گا؟ - ذرا سوچیے

Lets resolve today - henceforth we will think, do, crave, struggle, live and die for Pakistan - through our dedication and industry we will make this land an earthly Paradise for us, for our coming generations and for the world. WE CAN DO IT - INSHALLAH.
