A Miner’s Poem authored – by Shahzad Manzoor Channa (Karachi, Pakistan)

Shahzad Manzoor Channa recently completed his B.E.(mining) a few months ago and composed this poem to fight the bad image of mining in his native Pakistan.

vilify not my realm of fate
i’m at the place where all can’t get

here are love, memories and no fuss
mountains even don’t stand in front of us

we are the only to see the earth so deep
take out gold, diamonds & leave nothing to sweep

the country’s development & it’s yardstick of treasure
how high we take the economy up mind can not measure

i wish i could jott down on your brains wall
without mining no country can rise from its fall

Mining resides in our heart’s front section
your imaginations are our success fraction

From the Mariana’s trench to the Everest Peak
my Lord! help us to uncover what else is left to seek

Down deep in dark our approach end until metals shining
WE ARE PROUD TO BE IN THE FIELD OF MINING
