Like the children I explain myself everyday
Why such unrest, why are there so many hues and cries?
Why do you create suspicion in the dust scarred cornice?
Imagine Kashmir silently, Baluchistan, Palestine
Still today they keep fighting alone - they are up with heart and soul.
Ours too will come to order one-day; in the villages and the towns
Live the present tactfully!
