The Poem: Kashmir



The passage of my tears stands blocked by a barricade of pellets.

Why did I wipe them off my cheeks, I should have let them be, when last did I cry?

( Umair Gul )


From seeing our dear ones, but only in memories,

to seeing, but only in memories, and to finally be free: when last did I cry ?

( Prabu Venkat )


Is there peace in the grave ? Is there peace in being a slave ? I seek some peace before I die

My dear don't speak for they can't hear , the darkness that I feared is what I see , when last did I cry .

( Haze Kay )


O people of valley, who wash the blood from the alley.

We pray for your best, a life without a fee, when last did I cry.

( Saqeeb Mallick )


The wails of those who mourn, reverberating in my soul.

Who knows what is life,none in this country: when last did I cry.

( Khan Ansur )


Once a heaven , so full of charm - a pinnacle of beauty.

With eyes - deprived of light ,full of pellets , I try too hard to see: When last did I cry ?

( Syed Zumair Nadim )


I need no shelf to show, the world does already know.

Silver pellets in the innocent face, handed to awardee, when last did I cry.

( Sahil )


Let us all unite and make heaven free.

For you , for them and for me: when last did I cry.

( Umaid )


Pellets in the eye, my eyes are dry, yet I'm alive. Am I thankful to breathe?

Partially blinded; Now with a blurry vision, for reminisce I frisk my memory: when last did I cry?

( Aamir )


Blood in rains while my brother lays on the ground where he survived.

Some say they pity them, but they're all lies to me, when last did I cry

( Aamir V )
