17^th September  
 
 
 
 

In the hearts of millions, that’s where our leader resides

we have blind faith on him, the path he decides.

An honorable and courageous Nation he wants to build

which lives in dignity and pride without any guilt.

Now, we play our role in country’s main stream

few years back, it just looked like a dream.

His preaching’s are the strongest bond between sects

as he leads his Nation with some bravest acts.

We remember those days, when our blood was shed

women turned into widows, children lost their dad.

The internal dangers faced by our state have grown

militant targets on our land are being hit by drones.

Our present predicts future and surrounds no mystery

lessons should be learnt from the bitter history.

To acquire our freedom,

Heroic sacrifices were made by our great martyrs

we have right to defend ourselves with international charters.

On this 17^th day of September,

Our long and heroic struggle have reached the border line

we passed the slavery and now can see our freedom sign.
