Cherish To Perish Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

Serving of my nationfor long long years
Being in pain without shedding tears
Many hypocrites and many soothsayers
Were in my way to create many fears

But still I maintain I paved my way
In that scorching fire of the day
I kindled my soul and dwindled to pray
For Beauty of Lordwho has yet to lay

His love on my heart His beauty in eyes
Soul just cherishes and body dies
Then at times in those love cries
When truth of eyes changes to lies

After passing through that long distance
Crossing hurdles borders and fence
I yet to think to finish sentence
And be backto my people hence

Death should come in the company of friends
That is the point where body bends
Clay to clay and trends to trends
That is where soul always bends

To his master to his Lord
That is the time when call of God
Embraces soul being time barred
When the land takes back its ward

Love travels beauty goes
Like the fragrance in innocent rose
The return of native will bulldoze
Where the world has, has suppose

All problemsof the day
Where one has to ultimately say
Goodbye to friends and to foes
Soul has to go and body has to stay

With crazy desiresand lusty needs
Nurture again the soil seeds
Conviction being leader always leads
Where words are encountered by good deeds
