“You were born as a jewel, you lived as a jewel, and you left as a jewel.”
His father
In his own hand
From his father
It has now been two years that my ears yearn to hear these words. My son, Capt Omerzeb Shaheed would always ask me whenever he used to ring me up. Certainly, there is nothing special in these words, but somehow for me, these words always sounded so lyrical.
Capt Omerzeb, as you all know him, was my sanchu. His pet name was Sony and his ever fragrance made him sanchu. His fragrance will keep us alive, his ever smiling face will remain in our hearts.
Born at CMH Rawalpindi, the third son of his parents. A very playful and cheering lad.
Quetta, Murree, Sialkot and Peshawar. Games, debates, naat competitions. Omerzeb was visible everywhere.
Best student of his school, then best debater of the year in 2002, rehearsing dozens of times before the mirror.
Passed out with 111 Long Course. “Army is my only choice.”
Adjutant of 9 AK. A very good singer, a prolific anchor and a dramatist.
Met shahadat at Lower Dir, in Operation Rah-e-Rast.
On his fifth shahadat anniversary
my son has laid his life
for the land that is our pride
we think of him all the time
with emotion running very high
It has been, today, five years now
since he went into the sky
A lot has changed in our lives
but his memories will never die
We know our son is in heavens
But, we love him until we die
when ever we go on grave, he is
Standing there with a broad smile
So, friends, bear our memories now & then
both in pain and in pride.
Papa, ammi, brothers & sisters
