Rashid Minhas


This world is but a stopping place
And life but a short span,
So why not through time race
And accomplish whatever we can;
So that generations to come
Will remember us as great ones.

We cannot but forever live
And we have to die but once,
So why not to our country give
The life which we so easily can.

Poem by Rashid Minhas,
written at age 15
