Stone pelters ... A few lines on Kashmir Valley

Copyright@shravancharitymission






Few lines on Kashmir Valley that is undergoing a lot of turmoil
“Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin ast”,
Which, translates to
“If there is ever a heaven on earth, it’s here, it’s here in Kashmir.”
*
What should have been the valley of smiles,
Has turned into a stone pelters den,
A misguided nuisance,
Not in the interest of anyone.
*
When Kashmir bleeds,
Separatists are relieved,
But when there is serene,
Separatists feel the demean.
*
From valley to the mountains,
From lakes to the rivers,
From tourism to winter sports,
You have a whole lot of things.
*
Nesting in between,
Korakoram and Zanskar,
Pir Panjal and Himalyas,
And in and around,
 Hazratbal, Mata and Amarnath,
You have so much to pride and revere.
*
So, in those blessed and scenic surroundings,
What made you pick up stones?
What made you devastate your own home?
And what made you surrender to those rogues?
*
What makes you feel India is not your own,
And Pakistan is your home,
The grass is not greener on other side,
Take it from someone who is known.
*
Use the stones to build the valley,
Use the stones to preserve the valley,
Use the stones to kill the enemy,.
Use the stones to rip the separatist.
*
India is your home,
Where you’ve grown,
So leave Pakistan alone,
And fight for your throne.
