The Poem: Kashmir

Eyes craving for that beauty, that peace,that heaven.

He wasn't wrong when he said guns and roses go together till eternity: when last did I cry.

( Mumtaz )

We hold stones of fate in our hands; with a dream that we have all along cherished.

A showdown and we will triumph, and walk away free: when last did I cry.

( Zeeshan Zahoor )

With the blood gushing rivers that flow in the valley.

A mother cries for help as she hugs her baby: when last did I cry.

( Haseeb Sofi )

The minarets of our mosques, the tulips in our garden and the water of these rivers.

Some loud, some in silence, echo pain and agony: when last did I cry.

( Zahid Mushtaq )

No mothers touch can make him speak, no lullabies now he will seek.

If her touch could made him breathe: She will hold that hand and never let go, not till eternity: when last did I cry?

( Ezna )

If we give up this time, I fear for that day when our brothers will say,

they have forgotten it all, surrendered their memory: when last did I cry.

( Rayees Wani )

Graffities of liberty , flags of freedom, you painted with beloved's blood.

O' mother of a martyr I wonder how valiant you can be, When last did I cry?

( Reshi Wasiq )

Those promises, those words that we exchanged, still echoes in my mind.

How many more years till all of us will see? When last did I cry.

( Hammad Mufti )

Long live kashmir, the years full of peace and hope.

Truth will never die, not in this land-especially: when last did I cry.

( Ahmed )

I follow Hussien.I fear no pain. With my existence,I defy opression, with dignity I will die.

I row a boat of hope in the blood filled sea. When last did I cry.
