70 THE BLOOD OF THE POOR
The blood of the poor, the blood of the meek The blood of the sick, the frail, and the weak It wasn’t spilled for the country or Lord And it wasn’t there on any dagger or sword On a flag or banner it wasn’t found And shed it wasn’t on a battleground But when we kept on looking for it It was on the hands of a greedy hound And we also found this precious blood On the field of toil, in dirt and mud URDU POEM LAHOO KA SURAAGH Kaheen naheen hay, kaheen bhee naheen lahoo ka suraagh Na dast o naakhoon e qaatil, na aasteen pay nishaan Na surkhi e lab e khanjer, na rang e noak e sanaan Na khaak per koie dhabba, na baam per koie daagh Kaheen naheen hay, kaheen bhee naheen lahoo ka suraagh Na sarf e khidmat e shaahaan keh khoonbaha daetay Na deen ki nazr keh baiaana e jaza daetay Na razmgaah maen barsa keh moataber hota Kisi alam pay raqam ho kay mushtaher hota Kisi ko behr e smaa'at na waqt tha , na dimagh Na mudaaie, na shahaadat, hisaab paak hua Yeh khoon e khaaknasheenaan tha, rizq e khaak hua ====
