Mindless murder

Tears are running down our cheek,/ Our grief does not let us speak.

All Indians share your pain, Bhai,/ For what has happened in Mumbai.

We share your grief, Sister,/ For the death of your Mister.

For the orphaned child, we have but one prayer,/ May God give you days which are happier.

With hatred and murder in their heart,/ From their homes, the terrorists did depart.

For strangers they had no compassion,/ Hatred for everyone was their passion.

From Colaba to the railway station CST,/ They killed without showing any pity.

They came with a powerful bomb/ To turn the Mumbai Taj into a tomb.

The brave men of India’s armed forces retaliated,/ These despicable murderers were eliminated.

All Bharat salutes the courageous martyrs/ Who sacrificed their valuable lives

To make Mumbai safe and secure./ Let there be peace and love evermore.

Days and nights of madness have now ended,/ The terrorists’ souls the devil has befriended.

For all those who have been left alive,/ There is but one goal — to rebuild and thrive!
