Poetry by by Rabea
I have long been born for now
Wary of space and hour
Knitting the shards of existence
Into silence
Around a turbulent self
Roaring and screeching
Ever overreaching
The strongest walls of mortal fancy.
Bind me then!
I refuse to hold
Myself, within me.
I am a claim
Of blood and fire
Fluttering upon ripping outcries
Rolling in the bloodshot angry eyes,
Bellowing poignant from a Himalayan height
Shattering the vacant corridors of might.
I was stripped in the baking sun,
Electrocuted on the dying chinars,
Shoved into cutting water and ice.
Grazed and bruised,
My corpse stirs a pouring eye,
But I, refuse to die.
I am the blood gushing through their veins,
I am the fire of their breath,
I am the hue on bright Summer flowers
I am the shimmer on waters of Vyeth*.
I am the mirrored sun
Glaring in youthful eyes,
I am the bloated moon
A furore in lunatic skies.
I am the charge on drooping autumn breeze
I am the wind around flushed Chinar trees,
I am the wilting hope in a destitute eye
I am the shriek, I am the sigh.
I am the young grass creeping out of snow
I am a soaring spark in the flight of dove,
I am the morning dew on Yemberzal** and fern
I am the empty grave awaiting Shaheed’s return.
I am the abiding testament etched on brewing blood
I am the unsung rebellion, inhumed in alien mud,
I am a crimson note breezing with rural streams
I am the undying horror of ‘their’ nocturnal dreams.
A vision am I
Having stitched my gaze
On a horizon afar
Blind me, until
The light of the dawn
Of Aazadi
Kisses my lids
Exterminates olive antibodies
And illuminates my Firdous***
Till then
I am, I will be
Watering my Bahisht*** with my blood
Since I am
Qadeer,
I am Sameer
I am Guru
I am Kashmir…
*Vyeth: Kashmiri name for river Jehlum
**Yemberzal: Kashmiri word for Narcissus (Nargis), a flower that announces the arrival of Spring in Kashmir.
***Bihisht/ Firdous: (Persian) Paradi
I AM Kashmir save me from pakistani terrorists and save pakistan from Americans
I am Kashmir
The young girls may have abandoned “Pragaash”
their music will continue to spread “Prakaash”
in the valley that heard only sounds of bullets
that came from the troubled borders across.
The valley is vibrant with Zubin’s symphony
Kashmiris are back to living in harmony
Talibaan has been defeated by the Talib-e-ilm
Their future is bright in a booming economy.
Shah Faesal tops the coveted IAS,
Pervez Rasool plays in the elite IPL,
Asif Ali makes his way to NASA,
Gen Naik commands the Army of India.
I am the peaceful Kashmir
I am the progressing Kashmir
I am the new gen Kashmir
I am the proud Indian Kashmir
*Pragaash was the all girl rock band of kashmir that was abandoned due to fatwa by a local mufti who was later seen enjoying bollywood music.
*Prakaash and Pragaash both mean Light / Noor
*Shah Faesal is a Kashmiri who topped the Indian Administrative Services exam
*Pervez Rasool is a kashmiri who toured Zimbabwe with Indian Cricket team. He plays the elite Indian Premier League
*Asif Ali, a kashmiri student, B. Tech, doing MS in Space science, hos two projects have been approved by NASA of United States.

Kashmir held hostage by a vile beast known as the Hindu army of India.
The rape of Kashmir.
You talk about Rape?
Let me remind you about a nation called
Kashmir.
Women of whole village was raped in front
of their men. Women, girls, mothers, sisters
nobody was spared. They resisted but
torture was the reaction of oppressor. There
was a woman whose life was ruined by
electric shocks in her private parts.
You talk about humanity?
There was a bride in a village. It was her
wedding day. Beasts ruined her life. She and
her aunt was raped by BSF….but wait, they
are for security….so do not shout, do not
protest you terrorists.
You talk about injustice?
There was a brother who was kept on
gunpoint by army, and two of his sisters
were raped in next room…..he said i was
hearing cries of sisters and laughs of
beasts…But, it wasn’t “DELHI” though
You talk about Rights?
There was a 9th standard girl…all innocent
and childish, her cloths were torn and kept
naked for days….yes, by security forces….so
shhhh…dont say a word
There was a village where they treated
females as hurd of animals…..
There was a mother, a sister who went to
fields, all happy…. alas they came back on
four shoulders, fell prey to the lust of
beasts…
But bodies were drowned, stressfull
allegations.. plans by ISI, suicides, probes,
cross border terrorism, Pakistan
Hence proved….. Rape is a myth, nothing
ever happened….
Damini ( rape victim ) was lucky that world
went on rampage to share her pain. when
Aasiya And Nelofar ( rape victims ) of
Kashmir were raped nobody uttered a word.
More than 9000 women have been raped in
Kashmir alone. Corrupt government officials
and police rapists roam free yet women fear
for their honor and lives.
Unlike the Hindu cowards posting under Muslim names I am a Kashmiri and no Son of the dirty Ganges has historical, ethnic or moral right to comment.
Butchers, Rapists, Killers.. History has shown Oppression will not silence the mazloom ( the victims ). India a vile nation, despicable nation a government that is cruel, barbaric and truly the epitome of evil.
From a Kashmiri
i am kashmiri, is it
my crime?…
“i am a Muslim”
kill me
and call it “COLLATERAL DAMAGE”
imprison me
and call it “SECURITY MEASURES”
exile my people and masses
and call it “NEW MIDDLE EAST”
rob my resources, invade my land,
alter my leadership
and call it “DEMOCRACY”
i deserve to be humiliated.
i deserve to be harassed.
i deserve to be mauled.
i deserve to be killed.
just because
“I AM A KASHMIRI”
i demand my rights, it is
my crime?
i demand my dignity, it is
my crime?
i demand life, it is
my crime?
i am a KASHMIRI, it is
my crime?
But I am proud of committing
this crime.
Alansaralhaq i think you are one of member of terrorist posting such comments .Leave POK
According to Pakistani media a woman is raped in Pakistan every 2 hours. here is the website – tribune.com.pk/story/617128/reforming-the-law-on-rape/
I dont give just rhetoric but evidence. Now please count how many women are raped in Pakistan every day, every week, month and year.
Pakistani Militants have killed more kashmiri muslims than anyone else.
Please also highlight the case of Rukhsana Kausar of Kashmir. I am giving you the wiki page please read about her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukhsana_Kausar
You will know what pakistani militants are doing and why they are hated by kashmiris.
You are giving all bullshit without any fact or evidence. Even if I believe that everyday a woman is raped in Kashmir, just compare her with women in Pakistan where a woman gets raped every 2 hours… Kashmiri women are much more safer.
Rape of Kashmir is a war crime because Hindus within the Indian army rape Muslim women the evidence is available to all
Rape is used as an instrument of occupation by a vile Hindu army.
http://www.hrw.org/sites/default/files/reports/INDIA935.PDF
Please read pages 12, 13, 14,15 of the HRW report as you have provided. The militants who are muslims, are also equally responsible for raping kashmiri women but you seem to welcome that because you condemn only rapes by indian hindus and the rest is acceptable to you, it seems.

This is not Azad Kashmir but protests continue in Indian Occupied Kashmir.
Quite easy for you Hindus to call me names at least be man enough to use your Hindu names.
Simple you sons of the Ganges you do not belong in Kashmir by virtue of history, culture, language and ETHNICITY we are Indus Valley people, Dardic like Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochis and Pashtuns.
Secondly put your money where your venomous deceitful mouth is.
Allow for a fair and FREE plebiscite across Kashmir under a UN auspice as per the UN resolution.
Rather divert on topics elsewhere focus on this or be quiet. It is not I but you who has a hidden agenda because it is not I but you who lies and your feeble attempts at pertaining to be pragmatic are as transparent and inconsistent as your lies.
Azad Kashmiris have zero problem with Pakistan and happy to vote under a free and fair referendum under a UN auspice we just need the occupying Indians to deliver this right to MY Kashmiri brethren living under a brutal occupation.
The onus is on you Hindu not me, we are ready to par take in this referendum.
If Indian army was doing even 1% of atrocities as done by Pak Army in Bangladesh before 1971, Kashmir would have become independent like Bangladesh but there is no proof in your allegations except rhetoric and motivated talks. Your own Najam Sethi visited Kashmir and reported to Musharraf that Kashmiris dont want to be part of Pakistan. Most intelligence agencies of various countries have found out the reality of kashmir and hence no one supports what a miniscule number of people in kashmir are demanding. Today no country supports plebiscite in Kashmir. Its not Pakistan, not even Kashmiris who asked for plebiscite from UN but it was India that asked for it. And since Pakistan did not oblige, India cant give assurance for such thing forever. Today, talk of plebiscite is irrelevant and the UN and the world know about it. The only solution to Kashmir issue is that Pakistan should leave PoK and it should join India but if its inhabited and infested by people like you who use such filthy language that brings shame to one’s parents for bringing you up in such horrible manners, India wont welcome such people. You are definitely not a kashmiri as kashmiris are very cultured, polite and well mannered people unlike you. You sound more like an illiterate punjabi pakistani. There is no point discussing with people like you. In India its said that when a leper loses argument, he will spit at you. You sound more like that losing Leper.
I am sorry for my language but you deserve to be told this.
in pakistan muslim population is 30% of indian muslims population.We are happy with indian administration .Pakistan to stop terrorist activity in india.Wait for some years pakistan divide into 3 nations balucistan, sindh and pakistan and pok will fight to merge with india. Alansaralhaq you not get any entry to enter pok just watch the site and give false comments without knowing anything.Use mind before writing anything.
Kashmiris like ALL pakistanis are well mannered but we have zero patience for Hindu occupation.
I am Azad Kashmiri and not Punjabi but please stop trying to peddling the propaganda against Punjabis to divide Pashtuns, Sindhis, Balochis from Punjabis.
60% of Punjabis have Kashmiri Heritage most are the childrend of Kashmiris who escaped Hindu Dogra occupation.
I am not Punjabi and nor do I have any issue with Punjabis nor does anyone in Azad Kashmiri our problem is but one people Hindu Indians occupying Kashmir.
You have no place sons of Ganges, remember Punjabis are the Indus people but YOU ARE NOT!!
Its not me but you, who have been talking of racism and sectarianism. You know that such thinking has cost Pkistan a shameful division as people like you kept hating lower ganges people. You would know that there are kashmiris who are hindus. their mother tongue is kashmiri, they are fair skin but they are not muslims. Why should they be thrown out of their motherland? If kashmir was under hindu occupation, it would have become a hindu majority by now like in Uighur muslims are reducing to minority and in Tibet, tibetans have already reduced to minority.
If you talk of kashmiriyat then remember there is a place for kashmiri hindus also in kashmiriyat. If you talk of islam then remember, islam talks of brotherhood and there is no difference between a muslim from indus valley or from gangetic basin. there is no difference between a white skinned muslim and a black skinned muslim.
Even the worst of the enemies when they talk, they maintain a decorum irrespective of how much they hate each other. Using dirty filthy language is sign of zehalat, ignorance and poor upbringing. Indians give full respect to even deadbodies of the enemy soldiers, we dont mutilate their bodies or cut their heads in disrespect. Insaniyat ka yahi takaza hai.
