This poem is dedicated to all the martyrs of Pakistan who have lost their lives at the hands of terrorists, especially the martyrs of Army Public School (APS) and Bacha Khan University. Is naye zamanay mein Roz naya charcha hota hai Khoon ki holi hoti hai Phir naya parcha hota hai No Action Plan bhi bantay hain Phir naya kharcha hota hai (In today’s day and age, A new commotion is raised everyday, Holi is played with blood, New papers are filed, No Action Plans are also made, And to top it off, there is more expenditure.) Pehle bhi sirf tasveerain theen Aaj bhi mehaz taqreerain hain Siyasi laffazi pehle bhi thi Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (Pictures were printed before, Hollow speeches are still made, Political contortions have always been present. Nothing has changed till today) Meeting sheeting hoti hai APC bhi hoti hai Lekin kaam nahi hota Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (Meetings are still taking place, All Party Conference’s (APC) are also held repeatedly But what needs to be done is never done. Nothing has changed till today) ‘Noon’ Punjab kay baasi hain Apnay ghar kay rakhay hain Doosray ghar jalain tu jalain Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (PML-N are the reigning residents of Punjab, They are the guardians of their home only, Other homes may burn in hell, as long as theirs doesn’t. Nothing has changed till today.) Chotay Mian youn kehtay hain Jitthay phatna ay uttay ja Itthay yaara ghar ay saada Saaday ghar tay gand na dha (The younger ‘Mian’ says, Go blow yourself up wherever you like. This here, is our home. Don’t create a mess here.) Diesel aaj kal mehanga hai Apna dhanda chalta hai Siyaasi jihad rahay qayim Apna mufaad rahay dayim Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (Diesel is still expensive, As long as our business remains lucrative. Political jihad should be the order of the day, Since this means more profit for us. Nothing has changed till today.) Haan karkay Na karsaktay hain Barh kay peechay hat saktay hain Aakhir hum Moulana hain Munafiqat ham bhi karsaktay hain Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (I have the power to say no after I’ve said yes, I can retract my statement after agreeing. I am a maulana after all, I can easily practice hypocrisy. Nothing has changed till today.) Operation Wana ja kay karo Wahin ja kay laro maro Shehroon main jo martay hain Zindagi say jo dartay hain Keh do khauf karain na itna Jeenay ko tarjih dain na itna Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (Go conduct an Operation in Wana, Fight and die there. Those who die on the streets of our city, Those who are afraid of living, Tell them not to be frightened. Tell them not to love life so dearly, Nothing has changed till today.) Ye jang hai, Jang hai aakhir Collateral Damage hota hai Loug bhi iss main martay hain Mayain bhi is main roti hain Nayee baat nahi hai aisi Azadi say reet hai aisi Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (This is a war, a war after all. There is bound to be collateral damage, People lose lives in this war, Mothers wail and scream in this war as well, But it’s not a new thing, It’s been like this since Independence. Nothing has changed till today.) Compensation hum dainge un ko Jin kay tukray bikhray thay Lakht e jigger jinkay maray thay Zakhm kha kay jo giray thay Jahan phool toray gaye thay (We will give compensation of course, To those who lost a part of themselves, To those whose hearts wept in tragedies, To those who suffered due to wounds inflicted on them, Where their flowers were trampled upon.) Mout kay saye mandla rahay thay Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (The feeling of death loomed over their heads, Nothing has changed till today.) Compensation lay lain apna Vote bhi hum ko day dain apna Awami hukumat rayij hai apni Noton say jo aye hai apni Tanzeemain tu yaar hain apni Voton ki bharmaar hain apni In pay Operation kaisay kardain Sar pay bundooqain kaisay rakh dain Touq main in ko kaisay dalain Jail main in ko kaisay palain Agla election larna hai hum nay Voton ka collection karna hai hum nay (Take your compensation from us, In return, cast your precious vote for us. Our democratic government is in full power, Which was only possible due to the massive amount of money injected into it. These organisations are our friends, After all, they are bags of votes for us. How can we conduct an operation on them? How can we put guns to their head? How can we put them in chains? How can we raise them in jails? We have to run for the next election, We have to collect more votes next time around.) No Action Plan No Action Plan Aaj bhi kuch nahi badla hai (No Action Plan No Action Plan Nothing has changed till today.)
