My Love, My Pakistan

[Almaas Ruby]

From the Ranges of Himalayas
To the waters of Arabian Sea;

Scaterred are the rivers of Elixir
Ravi, the Resplendent Daughter
Sutlej, the Scintillating Daughter
Jhelum, the Jaunting Daugther
Chenab, the Consoling Daughter
Beas, the Beaming Daughter;

Having the strength of rock
like those of Hilamalayan to Sulaiman;

Farmers with bedraggled hands
Playing with the magic of soil so pure
Having hearts of Diamond;

The Defenders battling with the intentions hideous;

The youth dynamic and assertive
Touching the skies of success;

Wrinkled faces of the aged,
with eyes still sparkling,
guiding the passions of youth;

When Unity strengthens the weak in the hour of need;
When bravery of the nation retreats the enemy;

These are the adornments of the Land of the Pure,
Our love, soul and life- Our Pakistan,
Our Father Jinnah, the strength of souls,
Our Mother Fatima, the strength of belief.


Salute to our Mother-Land,
The culmination of Martyrs Blood innocent,

Our existence to you my Love
Our lives to you my Love
Prostrating ourselves to Allah
for your Prosperity and Long life.
