Global Peace Theory / Afzal Shauq

(Based On..“a friendly smile is the best weapon of war to fight with… afzal shauq”)

If and when the invincible book of norms is ignored?
If and when custom of humanity is burnt to dust?
Due to the wicked shadows of greed, lust and other evil doings,
We don’t have the right to be named as human beings.
Rather, we are brutal animals like vultures and crocodiles.
If we truly wish from the heart to be called humans of higher race,
Then we must not shrink when we are called “the children of Adam”.
For once we begin to consider ourselves as sons of Adam
Of this verdant mound, of this dry land, of this circling life –
Then we might also try to answer the ancient golden query of………
“Aren’t we cousins to each other? ” or “Aren’t we all brothers and sisters? ”
Hence, let’s all take initiatives to bridge up the gaps between hearts.
To connect all broken knots regardless of color, creed or race,
Via road to positivity, presenting cheerful aura of glowing smiles.
Respect to one another is a blooming string that ties warm cozy ends.
Letting social life be dance and sing melodiously with the collective actions.
Pleasing, filling, satisfying; the glaring shadows of humanity.
In which it has long been betrayed, jumped out of shell,
By the selfish wand and magnetic resonance of greed!

Critical Review of ‘Global Peace Theory’ of Sir Afzal Shauq

Bridging breaches is one of the most difficult sorts of construction there is, no matter how hard try- it seems that there is never enough cement to withstand the weight of its contents. No one wants to be wrong, accept their dogmatic attitudes, and be humbled. We all want to always be right due to the evil shadows of ego and greed as mentioned above by the great personality namely Sir Afzal Shauq, a man who lightened the hope for peace, fraternity, positivity and humanity. He desperately desired of being a great man.

It is said that dreams and dedication make a powerful combination.

'a task without a vision is a drudgery,
a vision without a task is but a dream
but a vision with a task is the hope of the world'

This is mentioned by one of his followers , Khadija which is very true and which is the ladder of success of Sir Afzal.

I am a 14 year old girl from Karachi, Pakistan, consider it as an honour of being associated with the publication of the book 'the peace wishers'. I think of Sir Afzal Shauq as my ideal poet. Sir Afzal have that capability of broadening the narrow minds through his poetry, so highly influencing the thoughts of people and even other poets, the spontaneous overflow of his powerful feelings had given a rebirth of feelings in other people. Apart from this we are also really moved by Afzal Shauq’s divine feelings and nearness to God which is beautifully portrayed in his poems like:


Almighty Allah

YOU
being my true beloved
live so deep in me
and make such integral part of my soul

that
whenever
I praise your name
I share the pride
of being praised
myself


I cannot dedicate a poem in his respect for words are few and respect is a value in the form of love that is difficult to be framed in a poem especially for such a person like Sir Afzal. But I can say something for peace:

If someone abuses us
Or really gets upon our nerves,
What we seek should be patience
For our rage can construct distance.
We treat that person lovingly
And see how we conquer his heart magically.
If he cannot leave his bad habits for us,
We should not remove the shadows of goodness for him, from us.

You are my ideal poet Sir Afzal ! Therefore I am proud to be a Pakistani for my homeland is your too.
