O my country how troubled are you
Your people fight among themselves
Shedding the valueless blood, like water
Unaware of the heinous crime they do
My lovely soil that was built for Peace
What difficult times you see today
When brothers kill their innocent brothers
For that is what all Muslims are
Look how people torch the cars
And the streets light with flame
Watch how they raise their guns
With no remorse upon their face
What’s wrong with you my countrymen?
Pakistan was built for harmony
Have you forgotten our Quaid’s words?
Faith discipline and unity he had declared
Behold the lifeless bodies of those
Who hours ago were full of life
Hear the cries of widows and sisters
And children cruelly made orphans
Open your eyes to the viciousness you cause
Let your hearts melt at the sight
Remove the curse of hatred amongst you
And allow love to fill your souls
O my Lord, help my dear Pakistan
Open the eyes of the seeing blind
And the ears of the listening deaf
And let peace return to the land of pure
