Every man with an opinion <br />Equal in valour and in strength equal <br />At the advent of the British <br />Who were carrying the flag <br />Of the queen with intentions <br />To conquer the lions and wolves <br />The British from India <br />Offered to make a few nabobs <br />The reply was that we are all nabobs <br />Can you make all nabobs <br />In retreat then a titular representation <br />In treaty like with sovereigns <br />With each tribe the British <br />Gave respect to the traditions <br />Commanded respect <br />Enemies of match <br />They laid arms <br />To each other <br />And the rest would follow <br />Between lovers of freedom <br />On the land they said theirs <br />And many more claimants <br />For the soil and souls <br />For the minds and ferocity <br />20/4/2009<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tribal-ways-enemies-of-match/
