Once the City of Lights,
is now besieged by numerous plights.
Nor men are safe,neither are mice,
In Karachi,the City of Vice.
Vampires on bikes are on the prowl,
pouncing on their targets,killing them all.
Are their hearts colder than ice ?
In Karachi,the City of Vice.
Sindhi Balouchi,Pathan,Muhajirs,
Aren't we all Muslims,not Ka'afirs ?
Then why kill each other at any price,
In Karachi,the City of Vice.
On every death,my heart cries,
O you brutal killers! Don't you realize?
Can't you bring this 'Target Killing" to a cease,
To make my Karachi,the City of Peace ?
Karachi is one of the many things which are extremely close to my heart. I am a very proud Pakistani and even prouder Karachite. This is my home. I can't just watch my home burn.
PS: Karachi needs the Army.

"Karachi is one of the many things which are extremely close to my heart. I am a very proud Pakistani and even prouder Karachite. This is my home."
This all desribes so perfectly what we all feel. Our hearts beat for this country, for this city.
God protect us all. Please. Ameen.
God be with you, Karachi!
I'm so sorry this is happening in your home city :(
Karachi means life to me ! I can't believe what's happening here !
Please pray for Karachi ..
Please pray for Pakistan ..
May God be with us :( :'(
How do you do that? It almost brought me to the verge of this while emotional trauma.
There haven't been a city in Pakistan where i must have spent time more than 3 years. But i can inderstand how you feel, cause Karachi is like a second home to myself as well.
Seeing people dying from these accidents and massacres, i can't think straight. And even thinking about the families they belong to, is even worse.
WE ALL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE GOTTA TAKE A STAND NOW. THIS IS NOT GOING TO STOP WITH US JUST BLOGGING ABOUT IT. I PRAY GOD GIVE US A BRIGHT CHANCE TO JOIN OUR HANDS AND WIPE OUT THIS SERPENT THAT'S CAUSING ALL THIS DEVASTATION.
A post by a friend. You might like it. Give it a read if possible.

Let there be peace, let there be love, let there be harmony, let there be lights and no fires. I love you my Karachi.
Karachi bloodshed hurts as far as Canada.
May Allah bless the city with honest and efficient government.
We don't need impotent administration.
Actually administrative paralysis is all over the country going hand in hand with rampant corruption and terrorism.
God save Karachi and the whole country - Amen.
First of all, the poem is so nice!!
Hamza, I hope everything will be alright in your country<3
Your post made me to realize how peaceful my country is....
May peace prevail in Pakistan

silence has engulfed this place, this heaven for millions of faces.....there is indeed much noise, hue and cry but to tell u honestly there exists a deafening silence!!!
no matter how many lives cease....we the joe public is no where to be seen....the life just like time, once again moves on :(
How many of us has written, or moved our hands or limbs against these atrocities!!
U have written which is applaudable but then the resposibility lies on all of us!!
Hamza, my parents are in karachi, my mum t old me last night that things are getting more worse in karachi :(
she was weeping, hope they will move soon.

i got crush at you :p
luv x
All this is so heart-breaking.
Lovely poem!
MAY GOD BLESS KARACHI. MAY GOD BLESS PAKISTAN.
The Poem Is Beautiful -
Completely describes emotion and feelings of all the people.
And now life is drowning in the dark caves.
Going back in time - Becoming someone else.
Become their slaves.
My prayers are for Karachi. May Allah ta'ala protect you from all harm. Ameen.
Sad tareen situation hai.
Its so sad to hear all this.
Same situation happens in Mumbai every now and then.
That feeling of safety is gone from my heart too.
I hope everything will be fine soon.
May Allah bless our city :( ..
may allah bless our city and give us protection frm the unsurpers...
may allah bless our city and give us protection frm the unsurpers..!!!!
It's a shame to see our city die like this =( May Allah bless us all.
Great post, Hamza.
Nice poem
May Allah by the blessings of this Holy Month Protect Pakistan especially Karachi from the terrorists
Great writing....I really don't know why people can't just live and let live....
Karachi, get well soon.
May this city be blessed, always.
Awesome post!
:)
Sorry to know this,seriously.It is terrible.
sad to know the sorry state of affairs.. I have relatives there in Karachi... May Allah protect Karachi.. and save the people and make it a better place for living.
Oh god this is terrible. I hope something is done about this soon.
The poem was very nice, Hamza! But the situation of the city certainly isn't. Like all Karachiites, I'm also looking forward to a place which shall be peaceful again.
P.S.: We do need the army.
Violence is killing all...
I wish things become normal again.
OMG WHAT ARE YOUUUUUUUU???
nuff said.
peace and love forever
xx
I love Karachi so much, this just makes my heart bleed. Don't know what else to say.
This is the most touching post I've read. The poem is simply beautiful. :')
Although I'm from India, and people always consider India and Pakistan to be rivals (such juvenile and mediocre thinking), I really feel that they need to see this post!
It's sad that they don't realize Pakistan is a home to someone else too! Simple people, who aren't at fault. Who don't deserve to be discriminated against!
This is simply beautiful!
I love your blog! :)
Your poem was nice. At this point, I don't think feeling anything will help. To make a difference, especially in our environment, the kind of society we have, we need more than just a "feeling".
