Amidst the cries of a fractured land,
Where borders drew lines in shifting sand,
In the aftermath of a painful divide,
Lies a nation broken, spirit denied.
Whispers echo through the ravaged streets,
Tales of agony, where hope retreats,
Partition\'s scar runs deep and wide,
Leaving wounds no time can hide.
Death\'s shadow looms in every corner,
Searing hearts, where anguish is the mourner,
Famines dance with hollow eyes,
As hunger\'s grip tightens, lives it buys.
Beneath the scorching sun, droughts persist,
Land cracked and barren, dreams dismissed,
Desolation spreads like wildfire\'s breath,
Snuffing out life, sowing seeds of death.
Amidst the chaos and the violent tide,
Rivers of blood flow, wounds open wide,
Brother against brother, neighbour turned foe,
Hatred\'s venom, a nation\'s tragic blow.
Sons of the land, now torn apart,
Bound by history, yet divided by heart,
Blood-soaked memories stain the soil,
A tragic legacy of turmoil and toil.
In the alleys of poverty\'s domain,
Destitution\'s lament sings its refrain,
Bodies frail, souls worn and bent,
Trapped in cycles of despair, never spent.
Hope, a distant memory in their eyes,
As poverty\'s grip tightens, dreams it denies,
Society\'s layers like unyielding walls,
Dividing the haves and the forsaken souls.
Disillusionment\'s poison seeps within,
In hearts once filled with dreams akin,
Promises broken, trust eroded,
Leaving souls adrift, emotions corroded.
Leaders falter, ideals fade away,
In the face of power\'s ruthless sway,
Hollow words, empty gestures entwine,
Leaving disillusionment as a bitter sign.
In the temples once filled with sacred light,
Spirit\'s emptiness pervades the night,
Faith wanes as shadows creep,
Leaving souls adrift in beliefs so steep.
Prayers unanswered, gods remain silent,
Lost in a void where devotion\'s bent,
Spirits seek solace in a barren shrine,
In a post-Partition world, faith\'s decline.
But amidst the fragments of a shattered dream,
A flicker of hope, a distant gleam,
A call for unity, for hands to entwine,
To rebuild, redeem, and intertwine.
From the ashes of despair, seeds may grow,
Bridging divides, letting compassion flow,
In the quest for redemption, hearts must mend,
In the land of desolation, hope can transcend.
In this complex and fragmented verse,
A portrait of a nation that\'s lost and dispersed,
A reflection of pain, disillusionment\'s sting,
In the post-Partition era, where echoes still ring.
