What I mean to convey from the title is, I'd like to speak about the 'state' [country] known as Pakistan.. and the 'state' in which Pakistan has been living ever since its formation....
I feel, we've highly misunderstood the local public there since years. People say, if they want friendship from us, they should revolt. I know if they all start a revolution, they can overthrow the military rule, but the people there fear everything now. It is not easy for them. Whoever have tried to raise their voice against the Dictators have been killed.
A beautiful song by Pak based band Junoon describes the state of things there beautifully. Junoon is perhaps the first Pak band to get international recognition.
Sayonee [soul mate]
Chein ek pal nahi [there isn't a single moment of peace]
Aur koi hal nahi [and there is no solution to this]
Sayonee [soul mate]
Kaun more muhar [who will take the reins]
Koi sanval nahi [there is no leader among us]
Sayonee [soul mate]
Kya bashar ke bisat [what is the guarantee of life]
Aaj hai kal nahi [today it is, tomorrow it is gone]
Sayonee [soul mate]
Chor meri khata [forget my mistake]
Tu to pagal nahi [you are not insane]
Sayonee [soul mate]
