As children began returning to schools across Pakistan weeks after the siege of Peshawar’s Army Public School, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) released a poignant musical tribute to commemorate the 131 children slain last month in the horrific attack.
With a young child’s voice lending melody to the lyrics, the song which was released on Monday conveys a message from a slain child to extremists in response to the massacre. The message is one of conviction and resilience; that the children cannot be frightened anymore.
The main verse of the song is also packed with emotion:
Main aisi qoum se hoon jis kay woh bachon se darta hai … Bara dushman bana phirta hai jo bachon se larta hai
I am from a nation whose children frighten him… Some enemy he is, he who targets child
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Complete lyrics and translation
Bata kia puchta hai woh, kitabon mein miloon ga mein
What is he searching for, I live on in books
Kiye maa se hain jo maine kiye waadon mein miloon ga mein
I will be found in the promises I made to my mother
Main aaney wala kal hoon woh mujhe kyun aaj marey gaa
I am the future, how can he slay me today?
Ye uska vehem hoga kay woh aisey khwaab marey ga
He has to be delusional if he believes he can kill such dreams
Tumhara khoon hoon na isliye acha lara hoon mein
I am your blood, hence I’ve fought valiantly
Bata aya hoon dushman ko kay us se to bara hoon mein
I have proven to the enemy that I am greater than him
Main aisi qoum se hoon jiske woh bachon se darta hai
I am from a nation whose children frighten him
Bara dushman bana phirta hai jo bachon se larta hai
Some enemy he is, he who targets children
To jab atey hue mujhko galey tumne lagaya tha
So when you hugged me as I departed
Amanallah kahan mujhko mera beta bulaya tha
You did not call me Amanallah, my son
Khuda kay amn ki raah mein kahan se agaya tha woh
How did he cross into God’s path of peace
Jahan tum choomti theen maa wahan tak agaya tha woh
He came as far as the spot where you used to kiss me, mother
Main aisi qoum se hoon jiske woh bachon se darta hai
I am from a nation whose children frighten him
Bara dushman bana phirta hai jo bachon se larta hai
Some enemy he is, he who targets children
I personnel pay great and de
I pay tribute to all martyred of peshawer incident. Allah bless them and gave courage to parents to bear this irreparable loss. Ameen
Assalam.o.alaikum,
This tribute is really amazing, heart touching. I heard that lyrics some time before your email. My eyes became the ocean of tears. We all are standing behind the army. I want to salute the army leadership of my dear country. We cannot forget the sacrifices of APS children which were actually children of Pakistan, the country for which Allama Iqbal said before its creation.
MIR.A.ARAB KO AI THI THANDI HAWA JAHAN SAY.
Hum en ki naslen khatam kr dengy. Insha Allah.
Pakistan Zindabad.
Great lines.We feel proud that we are PAKISTANI and we have such inspirational spirit.Yes, no doubt we can’t forget the sacrifices of PAKISTAN ARMY. They are performing a swell job at every disaster. Being a student I highly condemn this cowardly act and just want to say one thing:
‘Hey now Hey now’
don’t our dreams still over
our dreams are start with extra motivation and intent
May ALLAH rest their soul in peace.
**PAKISTAN ARMY ZINDABAD**
