Kerma

two citizens who lived in Multan, Hindustan
gave their newborn boy a name – Bhim,
oblivious to what destiny holds for him,
how much hardship will the partition withdraw from him?

he’ll be losing his parents, his rights, his heritage,
he’ll run away from the land he calls his home to the future unknown,
he’ll be a guardian to his siblings, become a man of great wisdom,
he’ll be recognized, be an inspiration for his daughters,
he’ll receive the love of his life, his freedom, and his flight.

after seventy-five years of Republic Hindustan,
he stands soulful, strong, and serene.
