I stood watching,
watching where we are,
watching where we were.
By the road I stood
gasping, struggling,
reminding myself of Kashmir.
Where people were humane,
where discrimination was taboo,
where brotherhood prevailed,
where harmony ruled,
where corruption was a crime.
What could be done,
was done without money,
what couldn’t be done,
was never done with money.
By the road I stood,
it was not a common day,
cause Kashmir was missing,
cause Kashmir was lost.
