WHAT THE HEARTS OF OUR MARTYRS ECHO?

WHAT THE HEARTS OF OUR MARTYRS ECHO?

Can our Martyrdom mitigate our families' endless miseries,
Can their losses be recompensed with any material treasuries,
Can the foreheads of our wives smile again with their robbed crimson vermilions,
Can our orphaned kids ever get back their martyred fathers in exchange for billions?

Can our family hurts be cured with the pills of lip sympathies and pen compassions,
Can we return walking to our bereaved parents, wives, daughters and sons?
Which technology can bring our speeches back; which science can join our fleshes, veins and bones?

Can your grieved condolence observances justly compensate our losses,
Can our posthumous Param Veer Chakras make up for our incurable gashes,
Can your ostentatious fleeting measures, and vain steps pass us any peace?
Who can pay our fateless families duly what they will forever miss?

But, our losses can be reduced with the removal of your biased political glasses,
And a unanimous demand for the elimination of 'Terrorism' by the whole masses.
