When We Die

When we die: A war cry To all people who gave their life for Kashmir in pursuit of justice for suppressed. We are murdered. Bodies are shattered. Our Jhelum to Euphrates, Our Kashmir to Karbala. My eyes hear. My fingers speak. And my heat pains. Lovers of Husain rip your limitations with chains. Stand resolute in Karbala-reborn. In its heat. Vanish not! Your flames. Show no fear in your eyes but give a cry Death will bring us home. So we die Times of glory went into ruins, but don’t sigh The days of hope will be reborn. So we die Blood bathed infants are we: this no one can deny Water of freedom waits for us. So we die Handicapped soldiers they have turned us, still our zeal is high With weapons of light we will march. So we die OH! You bureaucrats from the plains, your innocence is a lie, We will set your tongues ablaze. So we die One day you will cry that you can’t deny We will bring the time soon. So we die Keep your eyes dry my mothers, for you must know why Your tears will cause floods. So we die Don’t loose hope! My people, you still have threads to tie Every drop of our blood will be resurrected. So we die A coffin runs out in Lal chowk, scratch the earth for space The white, will wake up angles of wrath. So we die Land of Hamadan has been painted with blood The lava of agony will burst. So we die Keep the bangles in your arms, you widowed brides Their music will shake the earth. So we die Suppressed mortals are we, but Listen OH! Self made immortals Immortal passion of Muhammad runs into us. So we die. This fire of celestial blaze! Fuel it up with your rage. Defy the impossibilities with might You will go down through history as the brightest stars shinning in darkest nights. SOME WORD MEANINGS: Karbala: place in Iraq where grandson of prophet Muhammed(SAW) were killed. Husain: Grandson of Prohet Muhammed killed in Karabala
