People often wonder as to why, we are always acting so very shy-
Of sitting down for talks, and instead act like incorrigible hawks)-
By flatly refusing to negotiate any accord,
So we'll tell you( but strictly off the record)-
That the whole "issue" is nothing but a big fraud!
Our call for 'azadi' is is just too fool, and convert simple people into a tool,
To further our unscrouplous aims- of making enormous pecuniary gains!
As long as we create problems of law and order,
Our mentors from across the border,
Will provide us lot of funds-and that's our frequent call for bundhs!
And in the process of stone- pelting, if some get killed,
It's not our fault because that's what our creator his willed!
Our call for 'struggle' is for the sentimental breed-
Whom we compensate with the title of 'shaheed'
We tell them that their life, is our 'azadi's' price-
And if the boys go out and die,without evening asking us "why?"
We should not be put to blame, since its all part of this game!
Our talk of 'self determination' is for the emotionally weak,
Whose support is so very easy to seek.
And though we always call for 'sacrifice' when we preach,
Our own children we always keep out of harms' reach!
So if your children believe us and are ready to die,
Why blame us and raise such a hue and cry!
Now to make our stand very clear- we're hounded by a genuine fear,
What if they actually accept our demand
And put us on the seat of power to command-
You people whom we have given hopes and put to sleep
With promises we really never meant to keep!
To accept the crown and rule, would only be the choice of a fool!
Since its a vey dangerous game-
And we're sure Omar and Mehbooba will agree with the same.
So why put our necks into the noose, by killing our golden egg laying goose!
We're saying nothing new-we want the present state of affairs to continue-
So that we can not only have the cake but eat it too !
