People originating from both countries just celebrated their Independence Day. CBM’s have been building between the two countries although nothing concrete has come through. Its a quick one, without a lot of thought being put into it; but I wanted to present something in the context of these two auspicious days.
Essentially the background illustrates two friends on either side of the border longing to see each other again, which could be extrapolated to the two countries as well if you wish. Let me know how this one turned out.
*Tere chehray pe kuch manoosiyat si chalakti hai
Tera mizaaj bhi ek din badal jaye gaa
Pooch leta hon har rah chalte se pataa tera
Tera rasta chal ke ek din meri paas aye gaa
Aainay ke saamnay tera wujood hoga
Aur uss ke bar’aks mujhe tu paye gaa
Rafaaqat ka aaghaz-e-safr bas howa hee chahta hai
Mera rang bhi tere rang mein shamil ho jaye gaa
Aaoo istiqbaal karein uss shaam ka ‘Ahmed’
Jab tera aftaab mere pehloo mein dhal jaye gaa*
