اي سنڌ ڄائي!
اي
سنڌ جي شهيد راڻي!
اڄ تون اسان ۾ نه
آهين
پر تنهنجا جذبا، تنهنجا نظريا
هميشھ اسان سان گڏ رهندا
تون زنده آهين، تون زنده رهنديءَ
ٻين کي ڀي تون پياري هونديءَ
ٻيا ڀي تولاءِ
روئن
ٿا
پيا
پر!
تنهنجي ڏک ۽ وڇوڙي کي
جيئن هي ڌرتي محسوس ڪري ٿي
ٻيو ڪو ڪئين محسوس ڪندو
تون سنڌ ڌرتي جي ڄائي آهين
تنهنجو درد سنڌ کي ئي آهي
سنڌ ڌرتي تولاءِ روئي پئي
تون جيجل سنڌ کي ڏا ڍي پياري آهين
جنهن توکي پنهنجو رتُ ۽ ستُ ڏنو
اها تنهنجي هر سوڀ تي
اها تنهنجي هر مرڪ تي
ڪيڏو خوش ٿيندي هئي
اڄ سنڌ ماءُ اداس آهي
اڄ سنڌ ماءُ اڪيلي ٿي وئي آ
ان جي اولاد کي شهيد ڪيو ويو آ
اڄ سنڌ تو لاءِ روئي پئي
اڄ مامتا تڙپي دانهين پئي
منهنجي ڌيءُ جو ڪهڙو ڏوه هيو
ڇوهن کي تڙپائي ماريو ويو
ڇو هن جي جذبن کي دفنايو ويو
اي سنڌ جي شهيد ڄائي!
اڄ تون شهريت جي بلندي تي
آهين
ڏيهه پر ڏيهه تنهنجي ناماچاري آهي
دنيا توکي ياد ڪري ٿي
تولاءِ ڳوڙها ڳاڙي ٿي
پر ڪو
ئي ڇا ڄاڻي
تنهنجي سنڌ ماءُ تي ڇا گذري پيو
امن جي ڌرتي تنهنجي رت سان رڱجي وئي آ
اي سنڌ جي شهيد راڻي!
هي سنڌي ماڻهو
تنهنجا ماڻهو
وڃائي ويـٺا آهن
تو جهڙي هڪ بهادر نياڻي
جنهن دنيا ۾ سڃاڻپ ڏني سنڌ کي
اي سنڌ جي ماروي!
تنهنجي بابا پڻ اهو رستو ورتو هو
هن ڀي سڀني کي پنهنجي ڪرڻ جي ڪوشش ڪئي هئي
تو ڀي ساڳي راھ ورتي
توسان ڀي ايئن ٿيو
جيئين تنهنجي والد سان ٿيو
ساڳي جاءِ ماريا ويوءَ
اي سنڌ جي شهيد راڻي!
ٻيا تـ
ڳوڙها ڳاڙي ويهي رهندا
پر تنهنجي ماءُ (سنڌ)
تـ هميشه روئيندي رهندي
نقصان تـ اسان جو ئي ٿيو آ
هنن جو تـ ڪوئي نـ مئو آ
اي منهنجي ڌيءُ
ڏک تـ مونکي ئي مليا آهن
اولاد تـ منهنجي ئي شهيد ٿي آ
اي منهنجي راڻي!
دشمن منهنجو وجود نٿو چاهي
تڏهن تـ هو چونڊي چونڊي
منهنجي اولاد کي ماري ٿو
پر!
هي سورهيـ جن آ جان ڏني
تن جو رت رائگان نـ ويندو.......

Benazir Bhutto
Biography
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan
and Chairperson
Pakistan People's Party
Date of birth: June
21, 1953
Date of Martyrdom: December
27, 2007
Benazir Bhutto was born in Karachi, Pakistan
to a prominent political family. At age 16 she left her
homeland to study at Harvard's Radcliffe College. After
completing her undergraduate degree at Radcliffe she studied
at England's Oxford University, where she was awarded a
second degree in 1977.
Later that year she returned to Pakistan where
her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, had been elected prime
minister, but days after her arrival, the military seized
power and her father was imprisoned. In 1979 he was hanged
by the military government of General Zia Ul Haq.
Bhutto herself was also
arrested many times over the following years, and was
detained for three years before being permitted to leave the
country in 1984. She settled in London, but along with her
two brothers, she founded an underground organization to
resist the military dictatorship. When her brother died in
1985, she returned to Pakistan for his burial, and was again
arrested for participating in anti-government rallies. She
returned to London after her release, and martial law was
lifted in Pakistan at the end of the year. Anti-Zia
demonstrations resumed and Benazir Bhutto returned to
Pakistan in April 1986. The public response to her return
was tumultuous, and she publicly called for the resignation
of Zia Ul Haq, whose government had executed her father.
She was elected
co-chairwoman of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) along
with her mother, and when free elections were finally held
in 1988, she herself became Prime Minister. At 35, she was
one of the youngest chief executives in the world, and the
first woman to serve as prime minister in an Islamic
country.
Only two years into her first term,
President Ghulam Ishaq Khan dismissed Bhutto from office.
She initiated an anti-corruption campaign, and in 1993 was
re-elected as Prime Minister. While in office, she brought
electricity to the countryside and built schools all over
the country. She made hunger, housing and health care her
top priorities, and looked forward to continuing to
modernize Pakistan.
At the same time,
Bhutto faced constant opposition from the Islamic
fundamentalist movement. Her brother Mir Murtaza, who had
been estranged from Benazir since their father's death,
returned from abroad and leveled charges of corruption at
Benazir's husband, Asif Ali Zardari. Mir Murtaza died when
his bodyguard became involved in a gunfight with police in
Karachi. The Pakistani public was shocked by this turn of
events and PPP supporters were divided over the charges
against Zardari.
In 1996 President
Leghari of Pakistan dismissed Benazir Bhutto from office,
alleging mismanagement, and dissolved the National Assembly.
A Bhutto re-election bid failed in 1997, and the next
elected government, headed by the more conservative Nawaz
Sharif, was overthrown by the military. Bhutto's husband was
imprisoned, and once again, she was forced to leave her
homeland. For nine years, she and her children lived in
exile in London, where she continued to advocate the
restoration of democracy in Pakistan. In the autumn of 2007,
in the face of death threats from radical Islamists, and the
hostility of the government, she returned to her native
country.
Although she was
greeted by enthusiastic crowds, within hours of her arrival,
her motorcade was attacked by a suicide bomber. She survived
this first assassination attempt, although more than 100
bystanders died in the attack. With national elections
scheduled for January 2008, her Pakistan People's Party was
poised for a victory that would make Bhutto prime minister
once again. Only a few weeks before the election, the
extremists struck again.

After a campaign
rally in Rawalpindi, a gunman fired at her car before
detonating a bomb, killing himself and more than 20
bystanders. Bhutto was rushed to the hospital, but soon
succumbed to injuries suffered in the attack. In the
wake of her death, rioting erupted throughout the country.
The loss of the country's most popular democratic leader has
plunged Pakistan into
turmoil, intensifying the dangerous
instability of a nuclear-armed nation in a highly volatile
region.
Benazir Bhutto told
"When I first got elected, they
said: A woman has usurped a man's place! She should be
killed! She should be assassinated! She has committed
heresy!"
At age 35, Benazir Bhutto was one of
the youngest chiefs of state in the world. More than that,
she was the first woman ever to serve as prime minister of
an Islamic country, but the road that brought her to power
had already led through exile, imprisonment and devastating
personal tragedy.
Only days after young Benazir Bhutto
returned to her native Pakistan from university studies
abroad, the country's elected g
vernment was overthrown. Her
father, Prime Minister Ali Bhutto, was imprisoned and
eventually executed. Young Benazir too was repeatedly
arrested, then imprisoned, and finally forced into exile,
but she never abandoned the hope of restoring democracy to
her homeland.
She returned to lead a pro-democracy
movement, and when free elections were finally held in
Pakistan in 1988, Benazir Bhutto herself became Prime
Minister. She made hunger and health care her top
priorities, brought electricity to the countryside, and
built schools all over the country. Although she was herself
a devout Muslim, her reforms frequently brought her into
conflict with the same religious fundamentalists who had
opposed the election of a woman as Prime Minister. She was
elected a second time in 1993, but the president of the
country dismissed her from office and dissolved the National
Assembly. A military coup drove her from the country yet
again, but after more than eight years in exile, Bhutto
returned to Pakistan in 2007. Weeks before a national
election in which Benazir Bhutto and her party were expected
to prevail, she was assassinated by a suicide bomber. Her
death is a devastating loss to her country and to the cause
of democracy.
