"No ball of terrorism hit for huge six"
Boom Boom Quetta
Pakistan is all set to celebrate its 70th independence day in about 5 days time. The nation is busy in preparations ardently. Face is the crescent, eye is star...
Except for one thing. Yet another blood bath that was given to green and white of Pakistan flag.
Quetta 8/8/16. May the martyrs rest in peace.
The details we need not go in. We are familiar. Casualties, injured, conciliatory money for victims...blah blah...
So why I am writing these verses? There is only one reason.
A question.
Can a wave of terror dilute the love that makes Pakistani nation a sui generic nation?
Let's probe what happened at Quetta.
Quetta...
Shaal peer baba ka Quetta.
Meray Mohammad Ali Jinnah ki nzar ny Jo dam tortay mnzar dekha...Quetta
Jamal shah, Zeba bakhtiar ka Quetta.
Muhammad Waseem ka Quetta.
Shakeel abassi ka Quetta.
Yours and mine, the little Paris... Quetta.
Ah! I grow sentimental....
So what happens when a bomb explodes at the hospital, causing utter terror and fear in the heart of a common man?
Imagine the terror... Imagine the confusion.. Imagine the hiatus between peace and war....
And amid all this suddenly... People of Quetta do something bizarre...
They come out of their houses, queuing up at CMH to donate blood for victims...
I don't have words to describe the effect of this gesture...
But it does answers your and mine question.
Yes we are united.
Yes we are tied with the thread of love...
Unprecedented however any act of terrorism be,in the eye of Pakistani nation it's nothing more than a no ball. They will always hit it with disdain. Every act of terror is an illegal delivery. It will only cost terrorists a few extra runs.
As if it's not enough...imagine the Baluchistan of 10 years ago and compare it to today...albeit the few issues... It's not a war zone anymore. The love has only increased for Pakistan... Most flags of Pakistan were purchase in Baluchistan. Atay-e-milat azeem parcham....
So Pakistan and especially Baluchistan, remember that if you are scared into sitting in home by this exacerbating act of terrorism.. You actually have given up.
But you haven't given up Pakistan! You haven't...
Come out on this 14th August in an attire of Green and White to show the enemies that hum zinda Qom hain,painda Qom hain.
Let the world see it is never easy to defeat us.
Baluchistan shad bad.
Pakistan manzil e murad.
