Sun was in the east
Still light couldn't touch my mother's eyes
I was continuously blaming myself
As I thought
I was the reason for this darkness
Hey mom
Please wake up
Look
Who's here?
Its moonlight
Wants to say something
Please ask her to take me to moon
You promised mom
When she would be here
You will request her
To take me to moon
Moonlight can take me very easily
But
Why is she denying me?
She shouldn't
Please beg her for me
Why you still sleeping
Please wake up
The night you took me to
A nearest meadow
We sat for hours on a wooden bench
It was broken though
Still we were so comfortable
It was full moon right above our little heads
The sky was full of twinkling starts
That night we both went up the sky
And took some rest
On the soil of gorgeous moon
I was so in heaven
Your velvety lap
Was a soothing balm
For my troubled head
O ! my sweet mom
I can never forget that glorious night
Today you are not with me
I am all alone in this land of lunatics
They call me abnormal and weird
Am I so?
Mom,
I wet my pillow with useless tears
Every night
Then
When I wake up after restless sleep
I again have tears all over my mind
And I am always nervous for the future of your soil
When I gaze at each new sun-set
Every dying day
Mom
What will happen?
This fear would not let me live
I want to ask you something
Please do it for me
I know you will
Please ask this moonlight to take me to moon
I can't stand this fear
I can't stand this humiliation
I just can't
Hey son,
I think you should not leave our soil
Can't you see me
Walking beside you
Holding an umbrella in my right hand
And saving you from scorching sunlight
Can't you feel my divine touch
Whenever you bow your head
In prostration to God
Can't you hear me orating for you
Whenever you get dumb from humiliation
Son
Don't be afraid
It would get better
You just need to keep shouting
Your patriotic heart
In every person's deaf ear
Actually they are not deaf
They just pretend to be
This soil is worth
Millions of litres of pure blood
You have to bleed too
Don't fear my child
You got to live here
I know your present is tormenting
Each moment is full of agony
But son
You must suffer
And you must bleed
To make this soil fertile for everyone
I know
It would never be easy
But you are my son
And you are not alone
Billions more would speak your heart
Just don't give up
And please don't leave me
I assure you
I ll be with you always... INSHALLAH..... LONG LIVE PAKISTAN
