Let's Build Mountains Poem by Prof Niamat Ali Murtazai

Let’s build mountains as a wondrous act
That may defy the long existing fact.
Man has ever been building high mountains
Some with good virtues and some with sins.
Hills of pride and ego ever exist
Only great ones against the instinct resist.
You want to build mountains with coins of gold
You gathered with greed of today and old.
But I do want to build mountains with words
Spoken by servants, commoners and lords.
I think gold will rust or be usurped by earth,
Then will be lost all its value and worth.
Or some lightning will burn it into coal
You will get from it only deep dole.
My words will not be eaten away by soil
Wanton winds will not scatter my toil.
My words will prevail all over the world
Never to be burnt or cut by some sword.
My mountain will lead me to the sky
Like stars, I will be saved; I will not die.
