Best Wishes For Residents Of The World Poem by Muhammad Shanazar

Best Wishes For Residents Of The World



(Written on the departure of 2014)

O! Residents of the world,
Happy New Year 2015 to you all,
It is the last eve of 2014,
After a few moments the glimmering sun
Of the last eve will set down.

The year 2014 departs but leaves humanity behind,
Sighing and with watery eyes;
It has been plagues prone
It has claimed a lot of human blood as a toll,
And still has unquenched eyes,
As if its thirst hasn't lessened least.

The list of losses is very long,
Just in the last part of the year a plane of Indonesia
Crashed and sank into the depths of waters,
Human corpses bloat and float in the cold waters.
Merciless massacre of the school-kids occurred in Peshawar,
Their souls flew to the heaven in a flock,
Now desertedness hums over the patios of hearts,
Who knows how many Einsteins, Graham Bells,
Edisons, Flemings and Pasteurs of the future we have lost.

Let us wish each other with open heart the year 2015,
Let us change the primitive modes of living,
Let the wars be banished and bloodshed be stopped,
Billions of men, women and children
Up till now have been slaughtered,
Burnt, perforated and butchered in wars,
But the issues are still unresolved;
They stand behind at their own spots like rocks
Then why we shouldn't stop the practice,
Why we shouldn't use the device of love
By discarding hatred and odium.

O! The leading heads of humanity,
Great responsibilities lie on your shoulders,
Think for something global,
Removing all barriers of boundaries,
I shall love to see Umar Law upon the whole world,
Consume your treasure
To feed the ravenous instead of on the arsenal,
The humanity has inhaled enough the smoke of explosive.

The pangs of hunger are only known by them,
Whose bellies beleaguered,
They are sharp, once I did experience when I was a child,
Yes obstinate child,
My mother taunted me on some frivolous demand,
I wanted to buy wares of girls from the vendor,
But she couldn't afford, and in protest
I did not eat meals the whole day,
Ah! Being hungry at night it was very agonizing.

I hope in the New Year my own politicians will bring back
The robbed money from the Swiss Banks,
They will share victual with the countrymen,
I hope the Kings who wear crowns,
I hope the leaders who sit in the Lower and Upper Houses,
They will devise and promulgate such laws
As the humanity may live in total harmony.

I hope for the world of love and peace
Where no one may feel deprived,
The world where men and women are respected,
The children may have their rights,
I hope on all over the world manufacturing
Of the devices of explosives and uranium will be stopped.

I hope the armies will be sent to the troubled parts of the world,
But without guns, bullets and bombs,
Without armadas, fighter jets, and night vision tanks,
They will have loads of bread and butter, and costumes too,
Nothing is impossible; just move ahead,
Take the first step, the goal will be in front of you,
I plead to build trust and exhibit sincerity to one another,
The humanity is in search of the shadow of mother.
