Tonight, let me write!
Let me write
With the burning flames
Of youthful passion
Under the silver balm
Of the crescent moon
Amidst the soothing fragrance
Of the spring air —
Tonight, let me write!
Let me write
Of the dark
Dreadful sleepless nights,
Of the days bygone
And the paths forsaken,
Of the one-way journeys
To strange lands —
Tonight, let me write!
Let me write
Of the hopeful eyes
And the desperate souls,
Of the severed limbs,
And the silenced songs,
Of the rising suns
And the falling stars,
Of the broken bridges
And the stifled voices,
Of the victims of humanity —
Tonight, let me write
Let me write Kashmir!
