Heated voices raised like the latest banner unfurled
Voices full of wind but like stones they are hurled
“Help to free Kashmir!” they urge and demand of me
Free Kashmir? … but Kashmir has always been free
It’s not the land but the people who are in chains
“Money is God”, they say, “Money can cure all known pains”
Everybody is up for sale, and aiming for the same goals
To line their pockets and safeguard their arseholes
‘Land of The Pure’ but the people stink to heaven
And showing a mirror to the common herd is an act of treason
‘Freedom’ the world over is just a façade
“Kashmir, only Kashmir” has always been Azad.
