The Poem: Kashmir

Life is caged like the little lifeless baby

whose shroud was burried by the earth falsely. When did I last cry?

( Sami Reshi )

Her warm embrace still resonates in my memories.

I close my eyes and see her arms still open wide for me: When last did i cry.

( Ziema Mushtaq )

The can buy weapons but not the courage that our streets breed everyday.

We cannot betray for what we suffered from tyrany: when last did I cry?

( Rayees Wani )

As the sky bursts into tears and the valley turns red,

our hearts are drenched with agony yet they cant see: when last did i cry.

( Mir Burhan )

Oppressed by a diabolic regime, we make stones of courage

to supress the devil from Jamaraat to Kashmir; we fight resolutely: when last did i cry.

( Tawqeer Nasir )

In the nation with dwindling humanity, to dwell is to suffer.

Enough of suffering, we fight for aazadi; when last did i cry?

( Harish Junjun )

Killed, tortured, disappeared and raped;

So orphaned and widowed are we: when last did i cry?

( Sabreena Asgar )

When a mother carries a dead son, the earth fears her wailing agony

that can flame up a large sea: when last did I cry?

( Harsaran )

With sunken eyes and pained heart,

I pretend not to cry for this insane bigotory: when did last I cry.

( Sabah Wani )

When the turth is not consumable, it is burned to fuel the heaven turned hell.

O Allah! only you can see; O Allah! make us free: When last did i cry.

( Shaista Mir )
