Do Not Cry Poem by Mohammad Younus

O, people of Kashmir, do not cry, do not cry:
'We have lost our sun, divine and blessed;
Sun of peace, love, and sovereignty! '
It will rise up again, the day is not far off!
It will ever light your sky -
And darkness will not prevail in any heart's place,
I know your pain,
Eh! You have lost a world of your children!
I am not void of hope of God's mercy...
...and clemency,
I feel God telling me:
Don't despair, I am testing you!
Your dark days will end soon!
The sun will soon rise in your sky!
And will not leave even a trace...
...of darkness in your land!
