ITS TIME FOR US TO RECLAIM WHAT S OURS Incredible song and video from the rock gods of Asia, and one of Pakistans finest exports youtube/watch?v=4rpnhXOmM0U Pukaar is an impassioned plea (a small effort from our side) for reaching out to the victims of the recent floods. One of the worst natural calamities in recent memory, the flood has been termed by International media as a bigger disaster than the tsunami. 2 months on, we strongly feel that the response has been wanting in in the aspects of official patronage and long term rehabilitation. After the initial out pour where individuals went all out in providing food and relief goods to the affectees, there has been little effort to channelize these efforts into an organized response. Mismanagement and corruption has made it even more difficult to get aid across to the most deserving. The need for a planned long term rehabilitation program is being given little or no importance just like so many other important issues facing our country. We collectively as a nation need to reclaim our faith from the clutches of indifference and disbelief. Translation in English A Plea With just the sky for a roof My people lie shattered Their dreams reduced to dust Among the rubble of wrecked walls and broken roofs Their cries for help Await a listening ear. Surely now is the time to reclaim our faith From the clutches of indifference and disbelief Rise once again sons of the soil Your land calls out to you Your people need you once again Together we can heal the suffering Together we can wipe away the tears Together we can end the pain Let this be our plea/ our prayer
