Jinnah, Pakistan’s founder, was a very enlightened man
who had, for his nation, a democratic and secular plan
his design, due to his short life, he couldn’t carry out
and so the country started sliding towards a gutter route
feudal lords, bureaucrats, army, Islamists grabbed power
leading, rather pushing, the country into a state dour
then it a became a university of jahiliya and terrors
which produces uncivilized, savage, ferocious, bearers
as if trying to stay on top of everything that is bad
most of the people have either gone or are acting mad
they think Islam is the solution of each/every concern
so for Qur’anic teaching and laws, 78 percent yearn
most of the Pakistanis think that their religion is right
and the Islamists mislead them that their future is bright
Islam, Qur’an, Allah, Muhammad leads a nation nowhere
its’ education, secular values, technology that takes care
