What we see now,
Was not same then.
It is not just a piece of land,
Not just a soil in hand,
It is a matter of pride,
It is feeling to glory.
If you think,
You own it,
You are totally wrong,
It is not for you and me,
It is for everyone irrespective,
Of the form.
It was built,
With lot of sacrifices,
Lots of cry and pain,
But the fighters,
Did not stop,
Unless they gave,
The motherland,
In the perfect hand.
They fought,
They died,
We got freedom at midnight,
The pain turned,
To be happiness,
All had a smiling face,
But the fighting,
Was not over,
There was a lot to come,
Independence gave fever.
British rule was gone,
But the partition,
Gave goosebumps,
All were in fear,
All lost their near and dears,
The decision was the demand of time,
No one was in peace,
The freedom,
Gave a reverse gear,
The one humanity,
Broke into community,
Motherland lost maternity.
The rich had pride,
The poor fought for rights,
Freedom was just a word,
The real struggle,
Accelerated now,
British rule was visible,
But hunger was not,
Division never was an answer,
Malnutrition multiplied in droughts,
Dreadful fights began,
In the name of religion,
Brotherhood was lost,
Blood thirst gave rise,
To heinous riots.
The vision of freedom,
Seemed to be happy,
But reality was very different,
Freedom was achieved,
By the loss of calmness,
Life took a new turn,
All searched back for happiness,
The government tried a lot,
It allotted specific plots,
But the things were not same,
People became insane,
Due to the massive pain,
The year saw a lot of massacre,
The fire kept rising,
And the blame game began,
In high speed.
Value of life,
Lost its preciousness,
Money took it’s place,
The people who survived,
Had bitter memories,
And just waited to die,
Children lost parents,
Parents lost their child,
Brothers and sisters separated,
All helplessly cried,
No employment,
No school,
Things went off track,
Helping hand were less in number,
As all wanted to be settled,
Livelihood was ruined,
All included in a battle,
But still humanity existed.
Every state had different problems,
But still slavery was gone,
Solution was in highest demand,
Many decisions were wrong,
But still unity prevailed,
Sooner or later circumstances changed,
The ambience got enhanced,
With every excitement,
Some ill happenings,
Also enters,
Freedom was similar to that,
The dark clouds were gone,
The sunlight had opportunities,
But the path was hidden,
Dreams and ambitions,
Started gaining place,
The motherland regained happiness,
When the bloodshed stopped,
Freedom was not achieved in a day,
So both struggles and happiness took form.
