I Refuse Ramzan Greetings.

My brother Kashmiri pandit

I know not Who is dead?

My chest embraced a bullet

Did your conscience fell dead?



I return all hugs of Eid

I refuse Ramzan greetings

You owe a condolence message

Of fifty recent Dead.



You ride pony to Amarnath

You board a bus to Tulmul

You never stop at Eidgah

To pay tribute to The Dead.



Your show at Jantar Manter

I couldnot understand

I took you as my shoulder

You left my trust Dead.



I open my heart for you

For you and me is one

I feel you suffering alone

Why don't you see me Dead?
