Cry " Benazir"*

Cry Pakistan , Cry
cry to your bones
Cry for your daughter
cry " Benazir "
She was one
She had no alike
The rising "Tsunami" from tears
In the region.
Cry for democracy

Mourn Pakistan, Mourn
Mourn to your heart
Mourn not like before
Mourn "Benazir"
Mourn for a woman
Mourn for a mother
Mourn for a leader
Mourn for a Prime Minister
Mourn for democracy


*"Benazir" = Persian word meaning Incomparable

No justice , No peace !

On 1979 i was travelling from Philippines via Karachi ( Pakistan) to Iran to Join the aftermath of Iranian revolution . My stop in Karachi was coincided with the hanging of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto the democratically elected Prime Minister by the general Ziaulhaq an army chief backed by US . Ali Bhutto the father of Benazir , just wanted to bring democracy in Pakistan like Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq in Iran. In fact democracy was butchered by the generals backed by US in both of this countries by CIA and US military intelligence. Now after more than 30 years and in Canada that flash back and his daughter Benazir Bhutto a democratically elected Prime Minister has been assassinated by anti democratic forces in Pakistan.

Arise , arise
The people of the region
For human rights
for civil liberty
for civil society
for democracy

Arise , Arise
Arise Pakistan
Your daughter has been butchered
Arise , the people of Pakistan
For your own human rights
For a civil society
