THE WINDOW OF AN EYE

 

Centuries of Mughal rule torture,

Colonial past gruesome overtures,

Unblemished million-year culture,

Buried and fled in time the vulture, (1)

 

The land with gold, diamond jewels,

Peace and prosperity memory fuel,

Millennia-old loot, arson, brutal life,

The night ends, darkness a strife, (2)

 

Down the Union Jack  lives muster,

Raised the tricolor valiantly flutter,

Still, stay the nightmarish partition,

Million lives left native place stern, (3)

 

Turmoil, travesty of poverty grips,

Illiteracy draught famine lives sip,

Lacked education communication,

Seven decades after life in motion, (4)

 

Highways, metro, and metropolis,

Freedom, liberty, and the Constitution,

Democracy marvels with all elections,

Astonishing a billion lives cherish, (5)

 

Mighty economy, security is visible,

Sovereign country, independent,

A rosy future, young lives treble,

Nation builder leaves a precedent, (6)

 

The fag end of life with emotion,

Disbelieve a land transformation,

A paradise bountiful crop affords,

Milk flood, females' lives accord, (7)

 

May the country be safe and secure,

From the window of an eye tear,

Floating cinematic reels inspire,

Plural society culture lives, shares. (viii)
