Yesterday Today
At Military Academy I was wisest of the wise
So I thought myself bigger to my size
All ranks were bound to respect and rise
But now I take that prize in surprise
Then I used to tell and inform
When you were not in liquid form
Even then I was in uniform
But today all those come across to inform
Without any fear without any harm
Sir, you are no more in uniform
See being in uniform we are in full form
Col Muhammad Khalid Khan
