PHOTOS TALK
PHOTOS TALK
I see your photos
I see your photos
You look at me
With a little smile
Wanting to speak
Living through the country's partition
Wanting to speak
Living through the country's partition
Humanity shed tears of blood
Leaving the life behind
You too suffered
You built life once again
Witnessing your sister die on the ship
Her passing away into the watery grave
In the depth of the sea
A young boy with outstretched hands
And tears in his eyes
Learnt first lesson of merciless
Ocean of life
Learned to be strong
Helping parents and siblings
Stepping through the barbaric partition
Many times puzzled
By disbelief and dubiety of life
It's sustenance and its rewards
Built life overcoming
The mountainous expectations
Determination to succeed with devotion
Made him a man of dignity
Courage and compassion
I look at your photographs again
See your smile and I feel
Witnessing your sister die on the ship
Her passing away into the watery grave
In the depth of the sea
A young boy with outstretched hands
And tears in his eyes
Learnt first lesson of merciless
Ocean of life
Learned to be strong
Helping parents and siblings
Stepping through the barbaric partition
Many times puzzled
By disbelief and dubiety of life
It's sustenance and its rewards
Built life overcoming
The mountainous expectations
Determination to succeed with devotion
Made him a man of dignity
Courage and compassion
I look at your photographs again
See your smile and I feel
Photos do talk to you
Photos tell you the stories of their life
Photos tell you the stories of their life
