.... Wish you'd come back as a Unit at one Station and then gone around ... to absorb THE LOVE of THE NATION ...
What you were up against right FROM THE GO, was nothing less than scaling the Everest, and experts had put it down as 'IMPROBABLE', still, you climbed the ladder and grabbed the COVETED TROPHY.
In the Finals, you were pitched against the self-proclaimed INVINCIBLES. You taught them the lesson; INVINCIBILITY RESTS IN PEACE AT THE KNISINGTON OVAL.
- Certainly, you were not looking for RECOGNITION ... all of you except three had an established IDENTITY ... and those three are now known to the billions world over.
- MONEY/REWARD was no OBJECT ... HONOUR AND REDEMPTION CERTAINLY WAS...
- That you defied the odds and made the tongue waggers to PUT THEIR SHOES AND MONEY WHERE THERE MOUTH WAS ... will be remembered for a long time.
You did it through:
- DEPTH OF COMITTMENT,
- SINCERITY OF PURPOSE,
- A LANDMARK RESILIENCE,
You made the NATION proud ... The outpour of international tribute and salute, is both gratifying and humbling ...
BUT NOW IS THE CHALLENGE ...
- THE DAY AFTER THE VICTORY ...
- TO WORK EVEN HARDER ...
- TO STAY ON THE SUMMIT ...
- and that shall REQUIRE AN EXTRA MILE ...
BOW IN HUMILITY/THANKSGIVING BEFORE ALLAH KARIM, Beseech the Almighty for Strength to Keep the Flag high and fluttering.
LET THE FEAT SINK IN ... and then RENEW THE PLEDGE.
PAKISTAN FIRST ... PAKISTAN ALWAYS;
PAKISTAN PA'AINDA BAAD.
