My Wish
Magnificent mountains with trees so tall
emerald meadows, meandering streams
such a divine beauty to enthral.
Kashmir is beautiful only in my dreams,
my return to valley unlikely it seems.
I wish in my homeland, peace prevails
there death still dances with ugly eyes
over two decades gone by, my heart wails.
I have saved childhood memories as prize,
someday valley will have peaceful sunrise.

In the year 1990, I was forced to abandon my home in Kashmir due to the turmoil caused by the separatists. Since then, I haven't been able to go back and I wish and pray for peace and maybe someday I could visit my homeland.
