|| 13th April 2005 ||
Clear skies of April
Flowers blossoming everywhere
Everyone serenading nature's beauty
Lovers lost in their muse
Gaiety fills the atmosphere
Everyone lost in festivities
In midst of the festivities
A great tragedy occured
13th April 2005,an unforgettable day
In the history of mankind
Another act of being barbaric
Shown by our compatriot
A few armed men
Intruded a room full of books
Books,the source of civilisation
Books,where our root lies
They burnt down everything
With a savage snarl
They said,'We hate the script'.
Only because of that script
They are burning down a civilisation
Which took centuries to shape up
Our posterity will blame us
Their history will become a mystery
A puzzle which cannot be solved
Few people realised the lost
Most celebrated the victory
Victory of becoming a barbarian
But I hate those people
Who have left me lost
Lost in this nothingness
This was, is and will be
The most Inhuman act ever
In the history of Mankind.
