Twenty-sixth January

by Sahir Ludhianvi

Come, let us ponder on this question

What happened to all those beautiful dreams we had dreamt?

When wealth increased why did poverty also increase in the country?
What happened to the means of increasing the prosperity of the people?

Those who walked beside us on the street of the gallows

What happened to those friends and comrades and fellow travellers?

What is the price being set for the blood of martyrs?

What happened to the punishable ones for whom we were ready to lay down our lives?

The helpless cannot even afford a shroud to cover their nakedness

What happened to those promises of silks and brocades?

Cherisher of democracy, friend of humanity, wisher of peace

What happened to all those titles we had conferred upon ourselves?

Why is the malady of religion still without a cure?

What happened to those rare and precious prescriptions?

Every street is a field of flames, every city a slaughterhouse

What happened to the principles of the oneness of life?

Life wanders aimlessly in the wilderness of gloom

What happened to the moons that had risen on the horizon?

If I am the culprit, you are no less a sinner

O leaders of the nation you are guilty too

- from Looking Back: The 1947 Partition of India, 70 Years On (2019), translated by Rakhshanda
