MOHSIN-E-PAKISTAN
Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan
For nation’s security, he forged a priceless shield of might,
And empowered every Pakistani child to make the nation’s future bright.
He raised the country’s head with pride amongst nations of the world,
And crafted a masterpiece of strength, where security stood unfurled.
He left behind comforts, honours, privileges and acclaim,
And returned again to his homeland, immortalising his name.
Peerless in his skill, unwavering in purpose, steadfast in his quest,
He forged an iron wall of strength that none could breach or test.
Consumed by love for Green and White, with patriotic fire aflame,
He made our cherished homeland a leader among Muslim lands in name.
He dazzled covetous eyes of those who watched our nation’s rise,
And made Pakistan a fortress of Islam with his nuclear prize.
The feeble-hearted foe withdrew, concealed within their own domain,
For he cast such a shadow of awe and fear beyond the frontier’s lane.
Vasfy, no title suits Abdul Qadeer Khan’s dignity more than this:
“Mohsin-e-Pakistan”—for his legacy made him dear to every heart.
