How innocent we are!

"How innocent we are! Garlanding the murderers, Praising the thieves, Collaborators in every crime, Still how innocent we are!"

ON A SNOWY NIGHT

"On a snowy night, everything is silent, but the cracking of the delicate branches of the trees. Snow water flows slowly, making streams in the newly-dug land."

A LOVELY GLIDE

"Both of us were in between, The lovely glides of fluffy flakes, Gliding fast as fish hurry in blue, To evade the trap of her hunt."

IDENTITY

"Our passports are never renewed. The old passports have become defunct. Our identity was at stake, so was lost."

IT HAS SNOWED IN KASHMIR

"It has snowed in my Kashmir. From the earth to the sky, everywhere and everything is white. Bullet-ridden trees are covered by snow, with birds quite silent."

CALM DOWN, THE INNOCENT HEART

"Calm down, the innocent heart, Our lives are at stake, Vultures are everywhere to deface us. Calm down, the innocent heart."

WINTER

"Winter has crept in Kashmir slowly and steadily. From the unborn to the old, all are lifeless. Death is common, while life is nowhere in sight."

MORNING

"Oh morning! You made me alive again, With the hope to live my life again. Will you be the same as last night, Or bring into me a new light."
