OUR DEAR COUNTRY ""PAKISTAN""
Bhai Talawat Bokhari ! Assalam o Alaikum ,
Aap ka e.mail mila.
As an old man and old Tehreek e Pakistan Student Karkun / old Pakistan Movement Student Worker,Member of Muslim Student Federation Ajmer & Other Areas of Rajhastan 1946 , 1947 struggled for getting Pakistan by , participating actively in Tehreek e Pakistan under the Brave,Bold,Smart,Dynamic Leadership of Quaid e Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan) , your Brother Tehreek e Pakistan ka Quaid ka Khadim,Engineer, Poet,Wiriter,Journalist,Editor Saghier Ahmed Jafri is ALWAYS PRAYING for our beautiful,wonderful PAKISTAN which , we had struggled hard/sacrified a lot and had got in August 1947.
After reading your letter,I just remembered all those days of Pakistan Movement and when I saw the brightness in the eyes of Hum Sub kai Azeem Leader Quaid e Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah and other Leaders when as a Pakistan Movement Worker , I was also very lucky to see them from very close distance.I am sure that Our Great Poet Allama Dr.Mohammed Iqbal and Our Great Leader Quaid e Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah wanted a wonderful Pakistan,a Real Pakistan which would progress all the time under all good or bad situations and , the Simple,Honest,Brave Pakistani Nation including the Millions of Overseas Pakistanis living and working in hundreds of countries will always be happy and proud to be called PAKISTANIS because,All of Us LOVE PAKISTAN.
In 1951 and 1952 , I wrote poems and recited in the Adabi Society Mushaire held in the Government of Pakistan Technical High School,Jacob Lines,Karachi and in the Nabi Bagh High School Mushaire in the Pakistan Quarters,Karachi,Hali Muslim High School near Gandhi Garden,Karachi and also at Nashter Sahib's residence in Garden West Karachi,I remember a few Ashaar which are under:-
QUAID KI JUSTOJOO SAI WATAN MIL GAYA HAMAIN SEENCHA HUA LAHOO SAI CHAMAN MIL GAYA HAMAIN
JAAN SAI HAI JO AZIZ WATAN MIL GAYA HAMAIN AISA LAGA KEH SARAA GAGAN MIL GAYA HAMAIN
PARCHAM NAI SAR UTHAKAI YEH AELAN KAR DIYA AAZAD ZINDAGI KA CHALAN MIL GAYA HAMAIN
&
Qoum nai Quaid e Azam sa na payaa Rahbar mulk dushman sai jo larta raha bai khof o khatar
Unkai har kaam main taaseer e amal hoti thi Unki jo baat bhi hoti thi atal hoti thi
Unka hum Ahl e Watan par hai bara hi aehsan Unki koshish sai hua hum ko ata Pakistan
I hope that the Democratically Elected President Asif Ali Zardari and the Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani,Ministers,MNA's,MPA's, Politicians etc. will do better so that our Dear Country Pakistan could achieve desired and permanent progress and things may really improve in the larger interest of country and the Pakistani Nation.
I just remembered ashaar of one of my old Ghazal :-
Kabhi tou bhoolnai walai ko bhi khabar hogi keh Ahl e Hijr per her lamha kitna bhari hai
Hum apnai aap sai bhi muddattoon na mil paieay tere firaq main yoon zindagi guzari hai
I would like to request all the old Pakistan Movement Workers,Poets,Writers, Journalists,Editors,Media,Education Experts,Politicians,All the Professionals to please write your expert views,comments,suggestions as to how best we can make PAKISTAN a real ALLAMA IQBAL's aur QUAID E AZAM ka PAKISTAN.

Dear Jafri
Glad to know that we belong to the same generation with the same aspirations. It pains me today how Quaide Azam has been made irrelevant now in Pakistan. My house in Islamabad is a few hundred meters away from the Quaid e Azam's bust scaffolded on a hill top on the Islamabad Highway with his famous mottoes displayed on either side. Its light used to enlighten our house during the frequent power load sheddings here. But now when the LS has been done away with in Islamabad the Quaid e Azam's bust continue to be shrouded in darkness when there is light all around.Thank God they have not replaced it with the bust of Benazir so far.So imagine where are we going.
With regards.
Talawat Bokhari
