Habib Jalib (Alternatively--Am I A Hypocrite for Posting This Poem?)

Had I too been a courtier of the imperialists
Life would have been a piece of cake 
My children too would have studied in America 
And every summer would have been spent in England. 
My English would be devilishly clever 
Had I not been a lowly Urdu waala 
Had I bowed my head for a knighthood 
I too would have been called an exalted leader. 
I would have owned lands in every region 
By God! I could have been the President of Pakistan!
