Eternally Shaheen* Shall Fly

By Shahid Nawaz Khan

 

I hear his flying friends say

"How beauty dies in its prime

How great men live their lives

How tall he stood upon the ground

How deep below he lies"

 

No, I tell them

He did not die but lives on

Far beyond the yonder sky

Surely you will not see him land

Eternally Shaheen shall fly

Didn't he promise ' I Shall Rise'**

He did rise but did not die

 

Each time you look up on the sky

You shall see him smiling bright

His charming, glittering, gleaming face

Emitting brilliant, radiant light

Eternally he will help and guide you

Through winds and storms to safer height

 

So don't ever say he is dead

He flies through time and space

The true namesake of PAF

Shaheen now flies on every base

He guards the skies of Pakistan

With a martyrs' smile upon his face

 

My dear brother Shaheen Nawaz Khan (1957-1981) met martyrdom on December 31, 1981, while flying on a training mission to defend the motherland. He was an Old Publican (1963-73)

 

** 'I shall Rise' is the motto of Pakistan Air Force (PAF)
