Ncp


Ncp ncp please stand up for me
Bring communities together for less beurcrosy
Come up with something that never happen in the land of ire
Representation calling for unity
Knock the doors to be recognized in the world of sympathy
For members are standing waiting to be in harmony
Living side by side in the world of democracy
Deciding the good side is our way to fantasy
Helping the needy the poor the destitute to fight being lonely
Nobel is the cause that springs in our faculty

seeking help 1 Mar 2005

See the children of the world seeking help in Palestine
We are the children of the world crying for help in Palestine
Our land is taken forcibly our houses demolished day and night
See what the future is going to be see were we going to shelter for the night
We are the future of the world killed by the zaniest in Palestine
Shooting randomly showering bombs to kill the hope in the mind
Building a wall of hatred against the wishes of mankind
We are the future we are the hope we are the light of Palestine
Fifty years of refugees of fighting never seen a resting time
Stop aggression stop occupation stop the genocide of the people pf Palestine
Give us the chance to live in peace to have our land to turn it into paradise

Poem by Bashir Lasceabai

Love

My love for thee shall aye endure
As now, most perfect and most pure;
It brooks no increase, no decline,
Since it's complete, and wholly thine.
I cannot any cause discover,
Except my will, to be thy lover,
And boldly challenge any man
To name another, if he can.
For sure, when any thing we see
Of its own self sole cause to be,
That being, being of that thing,
Lives ever undiminishing
-------
From the treatise on love.... "The Ring of the Dove"
By
Imam Ibn Hazm Al-Andalusi

Requiem for prolific journalist and poet, Kaleem Omar

ISLAMABAD: The life and career of the prolific writer, distinguished journalist and remarkable poet Kaleem Omar (KO) was celebrated at a memorial meeting at the Pakistan Academy of Letters (PAL) here on Thursday.
Prof Alamgir Hashmi presided over the event.
Former Cabinet Secretary Ejaz Rahim, who has published three collection of English poetry and was chief guest, said though KO's ‘edifying poetry’ made the world a happier place and earned him fame, his prose too was exquisite as if he had chiseled words to produce a fine sculpture.
He particularly enjoyed KO's jibes at the bureaucracy, and quoted a few of the definitions he had coined. He also found ‘some of the most profound and compassionate studies about micro-finance’ in KO’s journalistic writings.
In a strange coincidence, just when Ejaz Rahim was referring to KO’s verse ‘hooking another life’ dealing with the question of philosophy and his poetical discourse regarding life and death, the audience learnt of the suicide bomber's ugly work in Rawalpindi.
Prof Alamgir Hashmi felt that the audience was really paying respect to a wonderful poet whose stature would be determined not only by this generation, but by generations to come. ‘We will always value him,’ he said, going back to the time when he first struck friendship with KO in the gloom of the fall of Dacca.
They continued to meet at Lahore, in Europe, and at Harvard where they would read poetry together and organise poetry workshops. He wanted Kaleem Omar's life and his poetical collections to be thoroughly researched and recorded.
Prof Mubina Talat of the Islamic University pleaded for organising English literature syllabus with samplings from contemporary Pakistani-English writings ‘to include a taste for our own ethos and culture’. KO would find an important place in that kind of syllabi, she said.
PAL’s director general Yasser Iqbal spoke of KO’s childlike simplicity, also recording the fact that the poet and journalist did not manage to get over the agony of the loss of East Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion Journalist Azhar Masood, referred to his association with KO in the PTV, as well as in The Muslim newspaper, which once used to be published from the federal capital, and remarked that his dispatches about ‘Ideas II’ showed KO an expert on modern weaponry, and has never been equaled even by foreign journalists.Poet Khurram compered the obituary reference.

Readers share heartfelt tributes to their fathers, their friends

He helped you catch your first baseball. He taught you how to drive. He showed you the difference between right and wrong.
But, at some point, you stopped calling him to help you move and started asking him out for beer. Rather than discuss your hopes and dreams, he opened up about his. You had become friends with your father.
With Father's Day approaching, we asked readers to submit letters discussing why their dad was their friend. People responded with childhood stories about their dad, his sacrifices, what they learned form him, and, most of all, why he ranks among their best pals.
— Jessica Yadegaran
The best part about becoming an adult was becoming friends with my dad. I am lucky that we live minutes from each other and that he is retired. I love going on road trips with him, hanging out at Peet's Coffee, or just watching him play with my two boys. He's the best dad a girl could ask for, not too mention the best grandfather.
Whether we're sitting in the car in comfortable silence or hanging out with the kids at the park, being with him makes anything enjoyable. He's instilled in me to always be nice to everyone, read as much as you can, and always vote ("It's your civic duty!"). I love you, Dad. Thank you for being you.
