Life of Purpose, Enterprise and

Leadership

.

Shaheen is thought, plus action.

The renowned poet-philosopher Iqbal uses this potent symbol to inspire youth.

To Shaheen, translated nearly as eagle or falcon, he attributes a number of striking traits: vision, intelligence, independence and courage.

Iqbal challenges his shaheen ― young men and women ― to awaken their powers within, and develop a vision which enables them to see beyond the superficial, read between events as they unfold, aim high, and soar fearlessly.

An Ageless Youthful Spirit

Not a time of life but a state of mind.
A predominance of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.

ORGANIZATION

Intrigued by Iqbal’s fascination, Shaheen ― as an organization ― A LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM ― came into being.

It is a partnership between young people and experienced adults. We are a collaborative network of passionate people ― both young and young-at-heart, from around the world ― who realize their responsibility, want to take action, and make an impact.

“Each generation, guided but unhampered by the work of its predecessors, should be permitted to solve its own problems.”

Shaheen seeks to inspire transformation by engaging the nau javän ― as Iqbal refers to youth.

Leading with innovative ideas, Shaheen fuels futuristic thinking, supporting investigation and analysis designed to trigger action.

By creating young leaders, mentoring them through a comprehensive process ― of building all aspects of their character and personality: intellectual, moral, social, physical and spiritual ― we aim to ensure continuity in the effort to help communities improve their lives.

MISSION

Make our world truly a better place

 ― for everyone.

In support of this overarching goal, SHAHEEN seeks to align and consolidate many little individual initiatives to create larger, meaningful outcomes.

Audacious that might sound, and tiny might be our material resources, we pursue our mission day in and day out ― with grim determination.

And yes, you are invited to join!

اٹھ کہ اب بزم جہاں کا اور ہی انداز ہے
مشرق و مغرب میں تیرے دور کاآغاز ہے

Rise! for ways are changing,
in assembly of the earth

And in East and in West,

’tis the dawn of your era
