  • Voices from the Valleys
    (A Poem on the Importance of social media for Youth in Gilgit-Baltistan)
    In the shadow of mighty peaks, where rivers dance and winds converse,
    A land untouched by time’s fast pace, where nature sings in sacred verse.
    Gilgit-Baltistan, where beauty sleeps, beneath the mountains, cool and grand-
    Its children wake with dreams anew, their hopes like stones in river sands.
    They reach beyond their rugged land, through screens aglow in midnight light,
    Where knowledge flows in waves unseen, and bridges span the longest night.
    A world once distant, far and dim, now finds a path through fibered cords,
    A journey, silent yet profound, a link between these distant fjords.
    Oh, social media, vast and bold! A portal to the boundless sea,
    It gifts these youth a voice to speak, to share their stories wild and free.
    They post the tales of mountain trails, of fields where apricots grow gold,
    They share their joys, their fears, their dreams, in words both fiery and cold.
    Through digital fields, they wander far, where cultures blend, and new worlds start, Their minds grow wide like open skies, with visions bright and curious hearts.
    From every “like” and “share,” they glean-new ways to think, to live, to be,
    They learn of lands, of rights, of wrongs, of strength in struggle and unity.
    With each new thread, they weave their way, connecting roots both old and young,
    A song that rises from the hills, in languages unsaid, unsung.
    A global tribe they now become, yet keep their culture close in hand,
    For digital ties do not erase the ancient grace of one’s own land.
    Oh, Gilgit youth, bold, brave, and wise! Through posts, they stand, through words they rise-
    To show the world their world of stone, of ice and fire, in crystal skies.
    Through media’s lens, they find their worth, they tell the world they’re here to stay,
    No longer shadows in the hills, but stars that light a dawning day.
    And yet, the world is not so kind, as light can twist and shadows grow,
    The truth can bend, and dangers lurk, in places even they don’t know.
    But knowledge arms them, makes them strong, their roots sink deep in wisdom’s soil,
    Prepared to fight the waves of lies, with truth and trust, their steady toil.
    So rise, young voices, from the stones, of Gilgit’s high and hallowed ground,
    Unite in cause, for strength is found in unity’s harmonious sound.
    In every post and every view, you carve a path for all to see-
    That though your land is far and still, your spirit soars eternally.
    End.
    (The youth of Gilgit-Baltistan, through social media's touch,
    Find power, purpose, dreams, and reach-a world to learn, a world to teach.)
