Dawn of Peaceful Kashmir

I want to embrace the petals of rose with my blood
As the thorns of separation penetrate deep in my firger tips
Tears and tears only! Where could I hide my pain?
You fell before my eyes and I saw you falling
What more can I say? A deep silence has covered me like the winter snow

O, the loved ones of Kashmir!
You left the depths in us when you entered the graves
Who will fill them? Only tears fall and get lost in them
I want to embrace myself with your blood
But you stand so far! Unreachable to me

Left are our ailing heart and crying souls
Left in us is a hope to meet you after this world
Left in us are prayers to heal the wounded gardens
Our Apple orchads are grieved by looking at faces taking care of them
Only graveyard are peaceful where you are resting
As our homes are cages and our streets are battlegrounds
Weapons and weapons only! In this reign of suppression

Deadly silence has overtaken our senses
Pain is ashamed before us to cause more of it
We now stand in a hope for the dawn to come
Dawn of peaceful Kashmir

  5. Don’t get disappointed. Have faith in Allah almighty and keep working hard. You will get kaamyaabi as well aman & Khushaali, Inshallah. Maybe kashmiris need to change their strategies. Guns are not the only solution to every problem. and not everyone is evil in India. Kashmir didn’t become Muslim in one day. Sufis and Auliyas worked hard day and night in good faith to improve people’s conditons.
    Best wishes bhaijan!
