The Lost Chinar!

I watch my brothers crying,
begging to the nation for justice,
The same pain,some sane voices to rebel against their bloody wounds,
It’s the Freedom,who is chained in rules..!!

Free birds got locked in a vicious cage,
They’re afraid ,they tremble in the souns of bullet,
A silencer is put towards their home,
It’s the Freedom,which is chained in rules..!!
Don’t you see their mothers are crying?
Keeping flowers with a leaf of chinar in their graves,
Their martyr sons would not return ,they know,
As the Freedom is chained in rules!!

Namaaz are stopped,their kitchen full of tears,
Death sits there besides their old armchair..
Rizwaan will not return,sleeping silently in his grave,
Pale faces peep out from the zafris,waiting for their beloved!!
