Muje Aaj Phir Katal Kiya Gaya,

Poore Parivaar Ke Sath,

Aur Main Dekhta He Rah Gaya,

Kuchh Nah Kar Saka

Nah Beti Ko Bachaa Paya, Nah Bahu Ko, Nah Patni Ko,

Nah Manh Ko, Nah Bete Ko, Nah Powtahr Ko, Nah Pohtri Ko,

Nah Pitaah Ko, Nah Navjhaat Sishu Ko

Aur Nah Apne Aastha Kendar Ko

Mein Bar-Bar Katal Hota Rahaa Hoon

Har Bar Meri Hatya Ka Karan Banta Hai Mera Nam

Main Ihs Bar Bhe Maara Gaya/Phir Maara Jaonga

Har Bhaar Mere Marne Ke Bahd Manenge Matam

Pardarshan Honge, Police Ki Lathian Chalengi

Kuchh Gaayal Honge

Akhbaroan Ke Mukhprisht Par Chapengi

Mere Maatam Ki Badi-Badi Tasvirain

Aur Kisi Neta Ka Meri Hatya Se Pahle

Taiyar Kiya Gaya Vaktvay

Phir Sab Kuchh Samanaey Ho Jaiga

Meri Agli Hatya Hone Ki Pratiksha Ke Liye

Sabha Purv Taiyariyon Mein Jut Jayenge

Agli Bhaar Phir Unhe

Aapne Takat Ki Aazmahish Karni Hogi--

Kisi Pardarshan Mein Police Ki Lathian Sahne Ke Liye!

Aur Main Lavaris Hi Marta Rahoonga!

Har Hatyakand Ke Bhaad

Meri Suraksha Ke Bahre Mein

Sansad Mein Prastav Paarit Honge

Aur Tab Tak Ban Chuka Hoga

Pura Kashmir..............

Wandhama Ganv

I was butchered again today

with whole of my family

and I watched the killing helplessly

could do nothing

neither I would save my daughter

nor my daughter-in-law, my wife,

nor could rescue my mother, my son,

and grand-children,

neither my father nor the newly born

and also couldn’t save my

centre of faith.

I have been butchered times and times again

And each time the nomenclature is

cause of my murder

I am killed now and will be killed

thereafter

And after every killing of mine

the mournings will be arranged

demonstrations carried out

police resorting to lathicharge

injuring a few mourners

The blow-ups of my mournings

will appear

on the front pages of Dailies

And the statement of any leader

prepared in advance in anticipation of my murder

And again, everything will become so normal

And will get busy in preparations i n advance

in anticipation of my next slaughter

For they have to test their might next time

to bear the brunts of lathicharge

in future demonstrations

And I will continue being

killed unclaimed

After every such massacre of mine

the resolutions will be passed

in Parliament

for my security

And by then

entire Kashmir

will turn into

village Wandhama
