Unity 

by

Umer Kaleem 

Had there been unity in Pakistan

The aliens would no longer have disgraced us.

When the nation has lost its unity

It has lost its wealth.

One is the enemy of the other.

And the foreigners watched it.

O our countrymen why are you sitting idle.

Awaken and befriend your countrymen.

If you seek the welfare of your motherland

Don’t consider your countrymen as your enemies

Treat all of them kindly and gracefully

Take them as perfect equals

Before Blochi and before Punjabi

We are just Pakistani we are just Pakistani

Before Sunni or before Shia

We are just Pakistani we are just Pakistani
