Wounded Strength

O Taliban don’t you see?

This wounded land of a million generations

Its smoky sky of warriors’ fascinations

Sprouting generations have yet to see

Like their forefathers, they may also flee

Never ending is the tyrant’s dynasty

In the shame of your tyranny, lies your honesty

O Taliban don’t you see?

The broken wooden doors with hanging chains

And behind the mud walls, the singing hens

Blown away schools and broken chairs

A girl in her school uniform still dares

Blown away streets, the carving of your atrocity

Is ye glooming by the street vendors of this city

O Taliban don’t you see?

The harsh thousands march to his palace

Stoning, shouting, and shaming his palace

This roaring crowd spitting shame at you

No cowards among them, but the face of you

No fear they own, in fight for long gone peace

Even the mountains, stones, and soil cry for peace

O Taliban don’t you see?

Scattered shoes, and frozen tears of mothers

On the streets, broken organs of others

Dead souls lying in hundreds here

The old father is in search of his dear

We have been burying our beloveds for decades

Dead less memories live, but life fades

O Taliban don’t you see?

Your turban, beard, and guns are symbols of tyranny

Behind your turban, lies the face of tyranny

O cowards, when will you stop the game of killing?

No moment is left for their healing

Don’t you see breathless souls dipped in blood?

Your storm of war has brought deadly flood

O Taliban don’t you see?

My homeland is in breathing in danger

We need not you, you the stranger

Towns, villages, and cities are bleeding pain

A million tears, and blood of humanity drip in vain

The sin of their innocence is suffering from woes

Slaughtering them wide open, you the foes

O Taliban don’t you see?

God’s heaven is for pure blessed souls

The key around your neck won’t buy heaven for your sinful souls

God is peace, love, and comfort of humans

Kind, caring, beloved, and beautiful to humans

This land of mine will live beyond your atrocities

With wounded strength, they will seed peace of their cities!
