Kashmir Known but uncertain. A macabre aura in her lush green valley Swirls along the lanes and the by lanes, Humming the death songs, and Mocking the mother's lullaby; Inundates the spring of love Reeling under the gales of remorse ! I- Pulwama Pulsating pain, Unbeknown to the servants of chair, Leaches out the marrow of tolerance, Wobbles the calmness of quiet sea, And reduces the sane to stupors; Mayhem clouds the canvas of peace And ruins the crop of pride! II- Shopian Singing the songs of hope, but- Hearth of ignominy blazes its zenith Over the apple-bough bedecked contours. Perforated is every bud that dares to live In the middle of the 'dance of death' Akin to the blind devastating tornado, Nay, a fair of cherishing right to cease life! III- Kulgam Kind enough to lit the candle of austerity, Unknown but to decipher abysmal cause of Long lacuna in a journey called life; Gog and Magog they name them Arraying the apostles of deceit; Machiavellianism it is, do they know! IV- Anantnag Amplified agony of terrorized souls Nibble at the crumbs of shattered dreams Along the periphery of devastated 'Lal-Chowk'; Nomadic but still the images find abode Tethered with mournful sand of 'Sangam', Nay, undulating terrain stands it firm All denizens are but a reflection of Galeanthropy! V- Srinagar Schizophrenic- An epithet Round the clock they wear; Illusionary clouds all around Neap the momentum of ship And strangulate everything in a fit of despair Gushing out the marrow of patience And leaving behind infertile soil Regretting what it had?! VI- Budgam Beseeching to blossoms of almond- Unlearn to rely on the artifacts Destruction with their only aim; Gabel otherwise bound to pay we are Along with the honour and digity, Mundane- a certificate to be killed?! VII- Bandipora Beside the 'Wular Lake' Antiquarian lot with over burdened brows- Nothing to do but recollecting the days: 'Demons when were worshipped, and Idols of falsity followed'; Pine high dreams kissing the ground Over and above that can be documented; Rolling is the agonising arid pain Aching all the wasteland of wounds! VIII- Ganderbal Gloss of undulating terrain Anguish in the paroxysms of swindle Notches of which still bleed Darkness of dark demegogues; Eating up of the grey matter follows Relying on the spoon feed, and Blackout of the nursery of the intellect Among the denizens, Lost in sighs and sobs! IX- Baramullah Black and blue still explicit over Amicable land of dreamers- Roasted they are from decades; Along the banks of Jhelum Mutilated memories are hung Under the hovering black clouds- 'Lost for words' is the expression, Living souls visiting this garrison; Alas! Caught we are between the deep sea and the devil Heros we need in a land of sheepskin prophets! X- Kupwara 'Kiss of death' is for the democracy Unabsolved case of 'Kunun Poshpora'; Pacified unmarked mass graves Welcome you to the countryside Amidst the loaves of corpse, and Roar of egos Asking the citizens to prove their identity!
