Arrow Poem on Bush in Pakistan Secondary School Textbook

At a time when Bush's popularity is very low both within US and outside and his policies are being increasingly criticzed, Pakistan Textbook Board included a poem on him in secondary school English Textbook.

نصابی کتاب میں جارج بش پر نظم
ایک ایسے وقت میں جب دنیا بھر میں امریکی صدر جارج ڈبلیو بش کی شخصیت اور ان کی پالیسیوں پر بحث جاری ہے پاکستان کی حکومت نہ صرف ان کے خیالات سے اتفاق کرتی ہے بلکہ ان کو ایک عظیم رہنما قرار دے رہی ہے۔ یہی نہیں بلکہ نئی نسل کو بھی یہی بات پڑھانے کی کوشش کی جا رہی ہے۔

وفاقی وزارت تعلیم سے منظور شدہ گیارہویں جماعت کے لئے شائع کی گئی انگریزی کی نئی کتاب میں امریکی صدر کی شان میں ایک قصیدہ لکھا گیا ہے جس میں ان کو ایک سچا رہنما قرار دیا گیا ہے۔ گو اس نظم میں، جس کا عنوان ’دی لیڈر‘ ہے، صدر جارج بش کا نام نہیں دیا گیا مگر اس نظم کے تمام مصرعے انگریزی کے ان حروف سے شروع ہوتے ہیں جن کو اگر اوپر سے نیچے کی طرف پڑھا جائے تو وہ ’پریذیڈنٹ جارج ڈبلیو بش‘ بنتا ہے۔
وزارت تعلیم سے منظور شدہ اس کتاب کو نیشنل بک فاؤنڈیشن نے شائع کیا ہے۔ اس سال اکتوبر میں شائع ہونے والی یہ کتاب اب بازار میں دستیاب ہے اور کالجوں میں پڑھائی جا رہی ہے۔ واضح رہے کہ پاکستان کی وزارت تعلیم گزشتہ تین برسوں سے نصاب پر نظر ثانی کر رہی ہے اور صدر پرویز مشرف اور وزیراعظم شوکت عزیز نے کئی مواقع پر کہا ہے کہ نصاب کو جدید طرز پر استوار کیا جائے گا۔
’دی لیڈر‘ نامی یہ نظم اس کتاب کے صفحہ دو سو چھبیس پر شائع کی گئی ہے۔اس نظم کے تمام استعارے امریکی صدر کی شخصیت کی طرف اشارہ کرتے ہیں۔اس نظم میں کوئی ربط نہیں ہے۔ پہلی رباعی میں چار مصرعے ہیں، دوسری میں پانچ، تیسری میں پھر چار، چوتھی میں صرف دو، جبکہ پانچویں میں پانچ مصرعے ہیں۔
لگتا یوں ہی ہے کہ لکھنے والے نے صرف صدر بش کا نام پورا کرنے کے لئے اس نظم کی مختلف رباعیوں میں اپنی مرضی کا ردو بدل کیا ہے۔
نظم لکھنے والے کا نام گمنام لکھا گیا ہے مگر یہ معلوم نہیں ہو سکا کہ یہ ’گمنام‘ امریکی ہے یا کوئی پاکستانی ’اتحادی‘۔
نظم کا اردو ترجمہ کچھ یوں بنتا ہے:
صابر اور ثابت قدم رہتا ہے سب کچھ برداشت کر کے
تمام چیلنجوں کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لئے تیار ہے
طرز عمل میں نرم ہے مگر سٹیل کی طرح مضبوط بھی ہے
ایمان کا پکا ہے خوشگوار طور پر اصلی ہے
ڈرتا نہیں ہے تجویز کرنے میں جو جرات مندی کا تقاضہ ہے
عام سانچے میں ڈھلتا نہیں ہے
آنکھیں ایسی جو دور تلک دیکھ سکیں، جہاں تک عام نظر نہ پہنچ پائے
پیچھے نہیں ہٹتا جب وہ سچ کو دیکھ لیتا ہے
نہ صرف کہتا ہے سب سچ بلکہ اس کو پورا بھی کرتا ہے
آگے چلتا ہے سمجھ کر کہ وہ صحیح ہے
اس وقت بھی جب اس پر شبہہ ہو کہ وہ کیوں لڑنا چاہتا ہے
بار بار وہ اپنا کیس واضح کرنے کی کوشش کرتا ہے
ان لوگوں تک بھی پہنچتا ہے جو اس کو نہیں سنتے
مزید مضبوط ہو رہا ہے اور لڑکھڑائے گا نہیں
خود پر یقین ہے اور اپنے قول کا پکا ہے
دنیا سے چاہتا ہے کہ وہ اس کی ثابت قدمی کا ساتھ دے
جنگ کے لئے تیار ہے مگر امن کا دعا گو ہے
بدی کو مٹانے میں اپنی قوت لگا رہا ہے
لیڈر کی طرح اور اعتماد کے قابل
کھڑا ہے ایک شخص جو کرے گا وہ جو اسے کرنا چاہئے
اس نظم کے بارے میں وفاقی وزارت تعلیم کے ایک عہدیدار نے بی بی سی سے بات کرتے ہوئے تسلیم کیا ہے کہ اس بات میں کوئی شبہہ نہیں ہے کہ یہ نظم امریکی صدر جارج بش کے بارے میں ہی ہے۔ وفاقی وزیر تعلیم جنرل جاوید اشرف قاضی سے جب اس بارے میں رابطہ کرنے کی کوشش کی گئی تو بتایا گیا کہ وہ چین کے دورے پر ہیں اور جمعرات کی شب کسی وقت واپس آئیں گے۔
نیشنل بک فاؤنڈیشن کے سیکریٹری اسلم راؤ نے بی بی سی سے بات کرتے ہوئے کہا کہ یہ محض اتفاق ہے کہ اس نظم کے تمام مصرعوں کے پہلے حروف کو اگر ملا کر پڑھا جائے تو وہ امریکی صدر کا نام بن جاتا ہے۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ دانستہ طور پر ایسا نہیں کیا گیا ہے۔انہوں نے کہا کہ یہ نظم لیڈر کے بارے میں ہے اور اس کی خوبیوں کو بیان کرتی ہے۔

Dear All Salam,

Some one need to tell the authorities that is just pathatic, I mean how can a killer be mentioned in our books as a leader.

Do we have no more leadres left to mention?
Does our kids knows about all the Muslim Leaders?

Qureshi said that this poem will be deleted next year. I honestly dont understand what motives them people have while doing some thing like this. That is utterly stupid and apalling.

If you read the poem and notice the first word of each line it says PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH.

Here is the link if some one would like to read that in English:

Assalam Alaikum,

I have heard many reports of errors happening in the textbooks within last year...Ever since Mushi uncle wanted to bring some change in the curriculum.

What I am wondering...Is the Higher Education Board is runned by K.G. Kids?

Thanks.

THE 1 will become famous soon enough
Angry How about this one???????

Pathetic & stupid he is, that’s all clear,
Really loony to handle any state affair,
Empty-headed in all cases, yet he must reveal,
Symptoms of freakiness, he is forced to feel,
Insane ideas he must hold,
Desert oil is his gold,
Eyes of a monkey, he belongs to the zoo,
Nonsensical & Lunatic is he and that is true,
Treacherous that he is, loose is his brain screw,

Goofy is his style & he thinks he’s right,
Everyone still doubts if he’s a blonde or a white,
Outrageous are his acts,
Ridiculous are his facts ,
Gagged up should be his mouth,
Ever should he be spanked with his face towards the south,

Whacko was his dad, Wacky is the son,

But you can’t call him “son of a gun!” ,
Ultra stupid are the people who think he’s a statesman,
So much to be published in a textbook of Pakistan!,
Harebrained are the publishers, yes, I don’t give a Damn!



I know I could have done something better, but then so could have our Education Ministry! And all you managed to get were 2 F-16s and a couple of Billion US$s!! You need to write tons of poems regarding all the republicans to beg for more F-16s, Chinook Helicopterz and aid for the earthquake victims! I really despise your actions!



Regards,


BUSHaRRaF

THE LEADER

Patient and steady with all he must bear
Ready to meet every challenge with care
Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong in his faith, refreshingly real,

Isn't afraid to propose what is bold.
Doesn't conform to the usual mold.
Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do.
Never backs down when he sees what is true.
Tells it all straight, and means it all too.

Going forward and knowing he's right.
Even when doubted for why he would fight.
Over and over he makes his case clear.
Reaching to touch the ones who won't hear.

Growing in strength, he won't be unnerved.
Ever assuring he' will stand by his word

Wanting the world to join his firm stand.
Bracing for war, but praying for peace.
Using his power so evil will cease.
So much a leader and worthy of trust.
Here stands a man who will do what he must.


Dear all,

this poem is added in the textbook of English (11) page:274 that shows how much our pakistani leaders are under pressure from American leader
"PRESEDENT GORGE W BUSH"
join the first letter of each sentence of the poem and explore the reality behind the screen.
