Independence Day SMS: Shout For Freedom

Independence Day is here.
Fire the guns and shout for freedom,
See the flag above unfurled!
Hail the stars and stripes forever,
Dearest flag in all the world.

The winds that blow
through the wide sky in these mounts,
the winds that sweep from Kashmir To Karachi,
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
have always blown on free men.

And I'm proud to be a Pakistani,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

We are free, truly free,
when we don't need to
rent our arms to anybody
in order to be able to lift
a piece of bread to our mouths.

Freedom has its life in the hearts,
the actions, the spirit of men
and so it must be daily earned and refreshed
else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots,
it will wither and die.
