What of those dead bodies strewn and piled up
in lamenting lanes of"Lal-chowk", you ask me of them, Ah! My love, The goons you know, are trading them for rewards, for peace prizes. I wonder how the peace prizes hanging around necks of goons look like!
May be the necklaces, made up of our fragile fractured bones, of the wood of our helpless houses!
What of the shine of those necklaces, are they cleaned and shined with out tears and blood, with the melting windows of our houses and melting skin of our bodies.
Ah! who knows my beloved! Sleep for our questions, cries and wails never surpass the sound of their bombs and bullets, curfews and cordons, sound shells and tear gas shells!
