Pain Hidden In Silence Poem by Mohammad Younus

A pain beyond all telling...
...is hid in the silence of my people;
The people sold like dumb cattle;
The bloody clouds hang on their land;
Where the cold winds paralysing life blow;
Where blood and tears rain...
...ever since the Mughals came;
Where blood-red waters are flowing;
The race and the land that I love...
...under threat and fear though...
This too shall pass, and we will stay.
Let's wait for peace, prosperity, and security.
