Phoenix, You Shall Rise!

 

You are a legacy that lives,
You have braved the hardest storms,
Like the Phoenix, you shall rise !
Grieve not if today isn’t yours-
There is no refuge but God alone.
Like the Phoenix, you shall rise!
From your own ashes, you’ll rebuild,
A dreamland for your posterity,
You are a living community,
Like the Phoenix, you shall rise!
Even in tempests, you have rekindled dying flames.
Have you forgotten ’65’and ’71’?
You stood tall with courage, not undone.
With patient hands, you healed your land,
A resilient people, proud you stand.
Rise, fear not- let hope remain,
From ashes lost, be whole again.
Rise, O brave hearts of Poonch, rise!
Let grief not chain you to the floor.
Rise again with hearts that heal.
Let wounds become the strength you feel.
Rise, O brave hearts of Poonch , rise!
Like the Phoenix, gather strength-
And beautify your world anew.

A TRIBUTE TO VICTIMS

 

To remember them a befitting tribute of sort
Pen down few lines I thought.
We didn’t wish to die
Reason us not why?
Like a bubble on earth we came
In sudden gruesome pahalgam attack died and lost our name.
In some cases doctors efforts failed
And we perished.
The world was a temporary phase
Heaven will be our future place.
A big tragedy befell
We all will be remembered in times to come.
Our final call to all brethren remain united and live life full
Don’t fall apart.
Live life full
Live every moment
And help all.
We never wished to die
Reason us not why?
Lot of pending works left behind
Accomplish the same and find time
Let us go as our time has come .
Breathed our last breath and couldn’t survive.
Left pains and aches behind
For no fault of yours or ours
Whenever our loss will haunt you
Dare to face the demon head on .
Silently shed tears
Let welling up of tears not hinder your growth
And please move on
Despite numerous constraints enroute due to our loss .
Our untimely loss should disturb you not
Stop your growth not.
May you grow from strength to strength
Definitely forget us and move on.
So what? If tears welled up in your eyes
Of our irreplaceable loss .
A sincere advice control your emotions and move on.
Forget about our loss
And take care of all.
Play with grand children
Keep company with your frontline friends
And move on .
Life is come and go oh ! our beloved spouses
Earth is no permanent stay.
Here we land
Stay for a while
And take off for next journey .
We will not meet again
Good you do
Before you fall too.
Our humble call
Good bye to all.
Everybody will perish sooner or later is true
Give us all the very best to stay in heaven .
Death is reality
Fantasy is rest
Love you all , last our bye bye call
Take care all , god bless all.
We were on pilgrimage to mini Switzerland
Baisaran valley as it is known.
From tourists angle in great demand
We went to enjoy but once for all gone.
Gone forever
Forget us never.
We didn’t know as we would never return
Our deaths will be revenged,
Their wicked ways avenged.
From blood-soaked fields we rise,
A warning to their eyes.
The price of evil done,
Shall burn beneath the sun.
No tyrant shall forget,
Our souls will haunt their threat.
