Balochistan is a fertile and rich land which keeps producing unbowed souls. Indeed, resistance brought colors to the bleak pages of Baloch nationalism. From the great game of British till today, Baloch have not left the legacies of their martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the nation. But, this time something unique and historic happened. Amidst an atmosphere of terror, bloodshed and violence, emerged a soul in Tump, Balochistan, who brought hopes, courage and love to defend her motherland. Banuk Karima Baloch opened her eyes in a land of shattered hopes and dispairs. From her birth till martyrdom, she changed the pages of history by providing colors of resistance and struggle.

Banuk Karima brought an array of revolution and resistance in the Baloch nationalistic movement. She proved to be an embodiment of genuine leadership who never bowed and knelt down in front of the enemy. In fact, with every crushing wave of barbarism, her aspiration to the Baloch cause became more concrete and strengthened. Emerging in a patriarchal society, Banuk proved that Baloch women hold an immense power of struggle and resistance.

She became a voice and hope for the voiceless gender of her motherlanland; she planted a seed which keeps inspiring Baloch Raaj; Banuk is a symbol of true resistance and devotion to the motherland Balochistan; and above all, she has left an indelible and rich legacy which continues cherishing every living soul, not only in Balochistan but all across the world.

Today, whole of her motherland weeps on her departure, but her legacy of struggle is living in thousands of Karimas on this fertile land. In spite of difficulties on her path, she proved to be an ‘Iron Lady’ of her motherland, Balochistan. Given her struggles for Balochistan, she created a living example for the Baloch Raaj to be carried forward.

Banuk Karima was a fierce with each passing wave of brutalities, yet she remained bold and faced everything with the superiority of boldness and valianty. Her bravery made the pages of history bright and shiny. Banuk Karima produced hopes of living on a horizon of hopelessnes.

Last but not least, Banuk Karima remains an eternal philosophy which keeps shining through the souls and hearts. Hence, I proudly consider myself among the fortunate contemporary souls of Lumma-e-Watan. I pay my rich tribute to the Lumma-e-Watan, Banuk Karima Baloch, in the following lines:

Banuk breathes in a world of tyranny,

Blessed with a power of resistance,

The resistance against cruelties on her motherland,

Breaking the barriers, she emerges as a sign of bravery,

Influencing the Eastern corner to the Western of her land!

She emerges,

Becomes the Voice for voiceless, 

Hopes for hopeless!

She emerges,

As the bravest of all,

With a true power of struggle,

Utmost devotion and love for the Baloch nation!

She emerges,

Leaving the loved ones behind,

Orphaning her beloved nation with a brave daughter!

She is afar physically, but never spiritually,

Her legacy, along with struggle, shines through the souls for an eternity!

Every inch of soil of Tump (Her village) would be proud of sanctuarizing her!
