The Indo-Pakistani war of 1965 (also called the Second Kashmir War) was the second major war fought between the two countries after the partition in 1947.

 

The genesis of the Indo-Pak wars lies in factors like the British colonial misrule, religious differences, and cold war geopolitics. The fate of India, and that of Kashmir, had been sealed in 1919, when Britain’s India Office, prepared a plan to partition the Indian subcontinent based on religion. After independence and partition, the region became part of the larger cold war struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union.

 

The 1965 war was a culmination of skirmishes that took place in the preceding months. The seventeen-day war (06 Sep – 22 Sep 65) caused thousands of casualties on both sides.  India had the upper hand over Pakistan when the ceasefire was declared and the conflict was seen as a strategic and political defeat for Pakistan.

SHIQURDU 31

 

 

171

पूछा मैंने खुदा से,

अंदर मेरे ये कैसा शोर है,

हंस कर खुदा बोला,

खुला आसमान, चांद, तारे चाहत है तेरी,

पर बन्द दीवारों को सजाने पर तेरा जोर है,

 

 

172

एक सुकून की तलाश में जाने कितनी

बेचैनियाँ पाल ली,

और लोग कहते हैं की हम बड़े हो गए

हमने जिंदगी संभाल ली।

 

 

173

इसी का नाम जिन्दगी है

कुछ दबी हुई ख्वाहिशे, कुछ मंद मुस्कुराहटें

कुछ खोए हुए सपने, कुछ अनसुनी आहटें

 

 

174

मैं न कोई मसीहा, न कोई रहनुमा हूँ,

मैं अपनी ही आवाज़ हूँ.. मैं अपनी ही सदा हूँ

मैं अपना ही गुनाह हूँ.. मैं अपनी ही सज़ा हूँ

 

 

175

बोल उठती है तस्वीर भी,

मन से इबादत कर देखिये

होगा  तुमको भी किस्मत पे अपनी नाज़

सिर झुका कर देखिये
