Salaams ! Every word you wrote It comes from an aching heart doesn’t it?
In the pages of history and in the Quran it says “ Oppressors will be ruled by Oppressors”
Otherwise if it is a nation of non Oppressors they historically have always rebelled and changed nations with their revolution.
While poetry is good, but unfortunately it is the enunciation of a castrated nation. Most of the subcontinent pours its woes into poetry instead of into action with the exception of Allama Iqbal who roused a whole nation to action.
Thank you. While it's true that the mercenary army's brutal tactics have instilled fear, the resilience of the people should not be underestimated. Resistance can take many forms, and even in the face of oppression, the spirit of defiance can persist.
Unfortunately, Pakistan's situation is dire, with foreign intelligence agencies exerting significant influence and infiltrating its institutions including ISI. The last regime change operation and subsequent detention of Imran Khan, other leaders of the party and countless party workers on dubious charges have paved the way for unscrupulous elements to dominate the civil domain. Icing on the cake is military's support and all time backing of thugs installed through shamelessly rigging the elections. Not to mention shooting to murder unarmed peaceful men, women, rapes, unlawfully detentions, disappearances... you name it.
The generals, compromised by their own interests, seem determined to perpetuate this chaos. They have proved themselves to be unworthy of people's trust, support and affection.
In this dark hour, one can only hope for a turnaround that would free Pakistan from the grip of mercenaries and restore its dignity.
Some of the most powerful lessons and inspiration come from history. Pakistanis are among one of the most intelligent people on earth. However, much of the educated intelligentsia has been lulled into a stupor by the comforts of Western-style luxury and excessive non halal intake of food and beverage which dulls the senses and puts righteous indignation against injustice to sleep.
They need to get up from their armchair soliloquy and smash their glass of wine to revisit the lessons of the French and Iranian Revolution. History shows us that even the most powerful regimes can be toppled, not merely through street protests, but through determined and consistent, rapid strategic action. In modern history Nations like France and Iran, who rose up and took decisive steps even against kings have, despite their struggles, managed to carve out safer and more equitable spaces for their common people.
Pakistani people have accepted their fate and have sunk into depression or their primary goal is escape: either in poetry or abroad!
May Allah have Mercy on the young of Pakistan for they truly have lost their ideals and purpose in life and are busy aping their colonial masters.

I think we have a lot to learn from The Turks!
