Salute to Brilliant Balochistan! Onward! Never Shall Thee Look Back!” By Dr. Ahmed H. Makhdoom
سانئِيَمِ! سَدائِين ڪَرِين، مَٿي سِنڌُ سُڪارَ دوستَ! مِٺا دِلدارَ، عالَمُ سَڀِ آبادِ ڪَرِين؍ (شاھُ ڀٽائيؒ) “Oh Lord! May Thee Bless my Sindh with bounties in abundance, Oh My Friend, my Beloved! Glorify Universe all with Thine exuberance.” (Shah Bhittai: Translated by Ahmed Makhdoom)
مانوارا سُنھڻان مِٺِڙا ساٸين؍ خوش ھجو شال سسداٸين؍ لکين قرب ۽ مهربانيون؍اوهان جا لک لائق ۽ احسان؍ وَھ واھ ٿِي وٸِي؍دِلَڙِي ٺَرِي پَٸِي؍
On that memorable day in History, 11th August 1947, Beautiful land of Beautiful Balochs, the Bright and Brilliant Balochistan , dreamt, envisaged and proclaimed Independence Day for their beloved Nation. Onward brave Balochs - our prayers are with you. God Be With You.
"No Retreat! No Surrender! No Compromise!" With these overpowering and overwhelming slogans, ideals, principles, paragons and paradigms, we are sure that you will get your freedom from the monstrous slavery very soon.
We salute you, valiant brothers and sisters from Balochistan for your ‘one stance, one voice, one struggle, one aim, one dream and one aspiration’ – Freedom and Liberty for your Nation, which I am sure, is not very far away.
Certainly, brave Baloch, you will have your Peace - Peace with Honour and Dignity and Freedom - and, surely, we will rejoice with you.
My Saaeen, my Waja, my Baloch brothers ‘n sisters, in the backdrop of Balochistan’s occupation by this ugly, barbaric country of Pakistan, some we weep and everyone ‘n everything is weeping, including the deep impassable sea, which is filled with tears of countless mothers and blood of countless Martyrs.
Blessed is this Mother, Balochistan, who is blessed with noble sons and daughters and worthy, filial, illustrious children, who are ready to shed their blood for their Motherland. They have definitely STOOD UP to be COUNTED and, once and for all, with one voice are demanding Freedom and Liberation of of their beloved Fatherland, their sweet Homeland.
Nothing will appease these or satisfy them brilliant children of such a peerless Lady, Mother Balochistan. Their thirst will only be quenched with a complete and comprehensive, Freedom and Liberation of Balochistan.
We salute these noble children of that Great Mother Balochistan! Mother Balochistan is not alone – she has so many worthy, valiant and brave children, who are certainly going to fight for the Liberation of their mother from the inglorious, ignominious, infamous chains of slavery.
Oh Mother Balochistan, how proud you must be, today!
We know the History! Oh we are aware of the factthat, the animals of Pakistan military invaded and conquered Balochistan on 1st April, 1948. Later they disbanded the nationalist Kalat State and the National Party of Balochistan. In 1966, Ayub Khan (they call him ‘Field Marshal’) launched a military operation in Balochistan in which thousands of Baloch patriots were killed in aerial bombardments. Balochs and Balochistan has never forgottem these ugly days in the History. And, we have not forgotten either!
They created Pakistan in the name of ‘Islam,’ and they called it “Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Islamic? Oh, what a glorious name on such a vile, vitriolic, virulent and venomous state where humanity never breathes!
In a recent Conference on Balochistan, speakers after speakers strongly believed that, Balochistan’s freedom from the ‘Islamic’ state of Pakistan will develop a new balance in the region that will favour an end to global terrorism, nuclear disasters, and wars. They said, “Liberated Balochistan is the only hope for a world free from nuclear terrorism.” Yes, indeed!
The civilized world will be outraged to know that the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission specifically outlawed any environmental impact assessment in Chagai, Balochistan. This is clearly a war crime against the Baloch people, and, I must say, serious crime against humanity.
My dear, noble and worthy children of Baloch nation - you are invincible! Oh, valiant warriors of Baloch Qaum, you are indestructible! As a humble child of Jeejal Sindh, I salute you for your bravery, courage and loyalty to your dhartee.
Oh, noble Balochistan, my motherland, my fatherland, Sindh, is your sister - do not leave this ddutrriyala, waddhyala, bhattkyala, radhiyala (ڏُتڙيلَ؍ وَڍيَلَ؍ ڀَٽِڪيَلَ؍ رَڌيَلَ؍) Sindhrree alone, forsaken, deserted and abandoned. Hold her hand tightly, Oh great mother Balochistan, and never let her go!
Balochs are our blood brothers - as a Sindhi, I have a special kinship with Balochs - I consider myself related to them and throughout centuries of living together and loving and respecting each other, we have become entwined and inseparable. If a bullet of the tyrants penetrates and runs through the heart of any Baloch, I feel the pain, extreme pain, hurt, distress, anguish and deep grief and sorrow. I have been living with that deep wound, that painful hurt, since these brothers of mine, the valiant, illustrious son of Baloch nation, Waja Akbar Bugti Saaeen, Waja Balaach Marri Saaeen and countless others were Martyred.
Yes, destinies of Balochs and Sindhis are entwined together. Let us both march on, march forward, onward - towards that illusive, yet so sure, so definite and so certain, destination - FREEDOM, LIBERTY, IDEPENDENCE. Freedom fighters will live forever and forever, gangsters, terrorists, gundaas, tyrants are doomed and will certainly fall – and when they fall they will fall like Lucifer, never, ever to rise again.
Certainly, the life and blood sacrifices by the Baloch nation will surely win them a brilliant freedom at midnight, one day. The twilight of liberation from the chains of slavery and shackles of ignominy for my dear brothers and sisters from Balochistan, is coming. And, the glorious Sun will rise on a glorious Baloch nation. Long Live Balochistan!
Despite the ugly mess that Sindh is in, Sindhis will always be alongside, side by side, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder with their brothers, Balochs. Our destinies are entwined together since centuries! Our blood relationship is as old as humanity itself! Alone, we may stagger and fall! But, together, in unison, we shall certainly, definitely, surely reach our destination - Freedom, Justice, Liberation!
Brave Baloch Nation will soon be Free - Free to breathe, to live, to prosper and to propagate their race, heritage, culture and language! Where are Sindhis? Their Motherland Sindh in chains, tied in fetters, weak, frail, sickly and on death bed. Where are the children of this Mother of all Mothers, Sindh? Long Live Balochistan
