You died as “Mother of Peace”

Zulfi was right naming you Benazir

Matchless you are, with ironical ease

            Karbala comes with a face new

Did we ever deserve you?

Five years and a few days

That was all you ruled Pakistan

What so little we had to offer

You gave your life for Pakistan

This is all mourners’ view

Did we ever deserve you?

They say you had self-interest

For, your struggle was power lust

This may not surprise any man  

They said the same thing about Imam Hussain

In this treacherous world, this is not new

Did we ever deserve you?

They said you were security risk

For patriotism, one has to be khaki

All letters of ABC are given to the League

Our hidden hands need mediocrity

Couple of Mullahs and PML Q

Did we ever deserve you?

Million jackals’ howling

Subsides in one lion’s roar

But this world is made like that

People only ear to malicious uproar

Both are separate, water and dew

            Did we ever deserve you?
