Isn’t sad?!
Isn’t heartbreaking?!
This motherland of ours
Blessed for holymen ever born
Feared for heros ever fought
Admired for wisdom ever flown
Known for its hospitality
Loved for its beauty
Suddenly, lost the lane,
For its children lost their peace,
Defiled the land by killing eachother
Because they chose violence over dialogue
Found themselves to be poor of the poor
Don’t you regret?
Don’t we get ashamed?
Don’t you have time to realize?
In an open fertile land we get starved
When we have all ,we rely on aid
In the land of wisdom, we look stupid
Haven’t we enough dishonored our heros?!
Haven’t we enough made heros vain?!
Fellow countrymen, isn’t enough?
This is our country
This is our inheritannce
In honor our heros, to the pride of ourselves
We shall talk serious
We shall reconcile the past,
We shall reconcile the present
Only that way,
We embrace one another, we stand together
Facing all adversity, we can make future brighter.
