O’ leaders of the world,
Kashmir bleeds
The reign of terror and
The domain of fire,
All speak volumes,
Of the oppressor’ misdeeds
Decades of agony
Long shadows of tyranny
Sobbing lasses and
Whimpering lads
No UN, No US is there
To blunt and shun the Enemy
How many widowed
How many orphaned
How many desecrated
How many maimed
On the pretext of security
How many have been gunned
Nobody bothers, nobody cares
For Kashmir has no natural treasures
Who will heed the sorrow of mothers
Who will wipe their tears
Who does bother about matters petty
That don’t offer any pleasures
Isn’t there any Qasim now
Or a Tariq, Gibraltar fame
Uqba Nafeh or Ubaida Jarrah
Son of Islam, pride of Mohammad
Bold, brave and courageous Warrior,
Just give me a single name.
Kashmir bleeds, O lords of the world,
And Lord of the Worlds sees it all,
Better behave with sanity and justice!
The nature has retribution on hold
The Almighty has His patience still,
Better we listen to the Kashmiris' call.
-The poet is a Indonesian Scholar
