…and I translated this piece of Asad Muhammad Khan in memory of late husband.

Do not think we have forgotten you
This mud was dear to you
Just know, to sleep, we laid you

The flowery years that has long-gone
We cherished every moment
Of you in those flowery years

We missed you every moment
Whom you always remained close to
To them even today, you are close to

People you loved dearly yesterday
You are still loved by them even today
You are father, brother, and son too

So are you a husband too
And a pride for your motherland too

Like the Sun you were yesterday
Like the Sun you are today

Moved by the wordings filled with deep feelings of yours.
We are proud of our heroes who has lost their lives for our country’s dignity. May this country flourish more and more with the blood of such people.
May Uncle’s Soul rest in piece . . . Ameen
