kashmiri beggars flight
from the valley of hope
to the burning cauldrons
of despair wont end
every lamaha
their lives
choked on
the river bend
a smile the
only reminder
of a homeland
burning chaos
as it blends
kashmiryat
has lost
its fragrance
once it reaches
mumbai
on the railway
tracks
greetings
back home
it sends
will a film
change the destiny
of their fate
a broken fence
politically motivated
no one wants to mend
azadi a misplaced cry
of the human soul
even your enemy
wants to be your
best friend
from across
the borders
to rob pillage
as he descends
with evil intend
searching for
the good shepherd
who will gather
the flocks to safety
heal and tend
such touch is missing
as the events portend


i read this poem
in the eyes of the beggar
kashmiri migrant
