In Our Country

Tell me
in our mango orchard
who has planted
the cacti, thorn bush?

Tell me
in our road
who has planted
the arrow, thorn and well?

Tell me
in the heart of lush green earth
who has stolen
the farms, the valleys and wilderness?

Tell me
who has dimmed the sun
and filled our eyes with deep dark?

Tell me
who made the deep seas in our courtyard
and the mountains at the entrance of the village
to obstruct our way?

Tell me
in the sky stars and stars,
in the horizon who has drawn
the high separating boundaries?

Tell me
who has set afire
our lush green forest?

Tell me,
who has hatefully
exiled us
in our own country?
