Imran Khan Niazi (Urdu: عمران خان نیازی; born 25 November 1952) is a Pakistani politician and former cricketer, playing international cricket for two decades in the late twentieth century. After retiring, he entered politics. Currently, besides his political activism, Khan is also a philanthropist, cricket commentator, Chancellor of the University of Bradford and Founder and Chairman Board of Governors of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre.
Arguably Pakistan's most successful cricket captain, Khan played for the Pakistani cricket team from 1971 to 1992 and served as its captain intermittently throughout 1982–1992. After retiring from cricket at the end of the 1987 World Cup, he was called back to join the team in 1988. At 39, Khan led his teammates to Pakistan's first and only World Cup victory in 1992. He has a record of 3807 runs and 362 wickets in Test cricket, making him one of eight world cricketers to have achieved an 'All-rounder's Triple' in Test matches. On 14 July 2010, Khan was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
Trapped on the surface cracks shining through
No action justifying the intentions paving the way
Faults in design now giving way without structure
The end plummets down living up to the old cliche
Won't be the last time you break standing chosen to fall
Contadiction of looking forward to a future that was not promised
It all sounds so sweet ad then you bleed buried it all in your mind
Digging the grave so it all begins again
Vertigo
You will be taken down right where you belong
Sign this is blood promise the world away
Open yourself to nothing
And as the end comes down nothing will live forever
Clouding the pool of blood loss
The poison has taken hold and it will reign eternal
Falling disaster crashing down upon creation that bows down the greet it
Encourage and welcome the new messiah buried it all in your mind
Digging the grave so it begins again
Vertigo
You will be taken down right where you belong
