The Poem: Kashmir

And this marriage of heaven and hell, gave birth to oppression in this vale of death.

Do you doubt the water of Jehlum ? I am Kashmir, don't ask me, "When last did I cry ?"

( Zuhaib Manzoor )

O my beloved people, be not afraid of dark nights.

Sun will rise and oppressor will flee: When last did I cry.

( Imran Bashir )

At dusk, in those restless nights, my people die. Dear land, my eyes will never lie.

We've lost them but whither, no one knows. Jhelum flows so full of pain, can't you see? When last did I cry?

( Aditi Sharma )

O' beloved son of Kashmir, a sacrifice shall never go waste.

We will fight from where you left, fight till victory: when last did I cry.

( Haris Abrar Kashmiri )

He prayed to God for a divine miracle.

For the rain of no blood, for a place where we live peacefully: when last did I cry.

( Afefa Seher )

No more mothers to wail their sons,no father shouldering coffin of beloved ones.

The day we breath the awaited air of aazadi: when last did I cry.

( Nasir Khan )

I am drenched and soaked in blood, yet they call me a rebel worthy to be punished.

And the one with the weapon that inflicts the pain, for them Messiah is he: When last did I cry.

( Waseem Raja )

The smallest coffin is the heaviest of all.

Nothing could hold back their tears, not even bravery: when last did I cry.

( Malik Rafee )

We all wait for that dawn, when sun will rise with all its might.

And its rays are not choked, but free: when last did I cry.

( Javed )

O Kashmir,O land of my dreams. Hold my hand, hold on as long as you can.

I am as tired as you are, but I will never let go, not until you are free: when last did I cry.

( Younis Mushtaq )
