She looks at the face, smeared in the blood. Mother whispers to herself:

and sensed contentment on his face as he had already found his bride in Azaadi. When last did i cry?

Outside in the garden, the golden crested hoopoe sings songs of freedom

From those long buried, it learnt the rhyme of Azadi, when last did I cry?

Pierced by metal, but these eyes are forever.

They created the sea, when last did I cry.

Sky witnesses the bloodbath, stars twinkle not.

I look at endless graves as a bottomless sea : when last did I cry.

Tired of slavery, they all came out; demanding their freedom , exampling bravery.

One by one, Oppressors killed them all, in the name of peace. What they left was no saintly: when last did I cry.

My Land is crying and the rivers are red. Even Fuhrer will cry on this bloodshed.

Mourning from time immemorial , tears I have exhausted. And you ask me: when last did I cry.
