urdu poem by Abdul Kader Abdus Samad on the CRL Commission


Butoaane Rango Khoo kotor Kar Millah pe Gum ho jaa. Demolish the idol of colour and blood and loose yourself in the CAUSE.
Na Jooraani Rahe Baaqi na eeraani na Afghanaani. Thus there shall be no Turan, no Irani and no Afghan.
Marne Waale Marte hai lekin fanaa ho te naki. A person who dies, have never perished.
Fil Haqee qat who ham se juda ho te nahee. For in reality they never became separate from us.


Saara jahaa se ach-cha junab Africa Hamaara. The best place in the world is our South Africa.
Afreeqa he ham watan hai Afreeqa Hammara. We are Africans and Africa is oure homeland.
Aata he yaad mugh ho S.B, ka khat khatana. I still recall the knock of the S.B.
AAi NOW JAWAAN TUJHE MAAI KIA KIA BA TAA OO. O people of the new generation, what can I tell you about our suffering in the past.
Ham ab ek ban ga – e hai. We have now become one,
Hamara laqab hai Qow me Rainbow. Our title is “ the Rainbow Nation”.
Hamaari zabaa, zubaah he aksaar. Our languages are many, many languages.
Deen aur kul car deegar aur lazaar. Religious and cultures there are thousands.
Phir bhee ai maailik! Ramaane hai yeh ilitija. Nevertheless, we make this supplication. Hame ek aur nek ba naa de. Make us proud and unite us as one nation.
