Kashmir Was A 24-Carat Pretty Diamond Poem by Mohammad Younus

Kashmir was the 24-carat pretty diamond...
...in the crown of the world,
Whose beauty shone brighter than the brightest...
...stars in the heaven,
She was adored as paradise on the earth,
Now she is turned into the ugliest and the dreadful hell, ...
For her inhabitants, doomed to suffer chastisement...
At the behest of the ferocious warden, ...
When her inhabitants yearn to claim her back,
With a desire to make her an abode of peace and love.
