A Vision Of Borderless Asia

By: Muhammad Adnan

I wish Indians to peep into Lahore,

I wish Pakistanis to sleep in Amritsar,

I wish Lankans to visit Karachi through Bombay,

I wish Bengalis to ring bells in Chennai;

I wish East Punjab and West Punjab to be just Punjab,

I wish the mingling of Ganga and Chenab,

I wish Delhi and Lahore as twins,

Stitching their hearts with a common pin;

I wish for the land to be like Europe,

Where you wander like an unidentified chrip,

I wish for the commoners before the partition,

Not facing any divisional commission;

I wish for the bright face of the Asian economy,

Where laymen enjoy prosperity,

I wish for love as the remedy,

And mercy and peace as policy;

I wish for the richness of Pakistaniness

I wish to be valued as Indian-ness,

I wish for Lankans to beat around the continent,

And for Bengali rice and fish to be permanent;

I wish to cherish the echoes in vegetable markets,

I wish to relish the laughter of old folks in the streets,

I wish for commoners to sing songs of joy,

I wish for teenagers to play with mutual toys;

I wish for the integrity of Asians around the globe,

Standing tall and firm among a multicultural mob,

I wish for humanity to be its religion

And I wish for its solemnity of all regions.
