*This article is an honorary entry for Kashmir Solidarity Day Competition* As my body lay on the battlefield,  stiff, Drained,   in agony, growing colder and  colder ;   My heart lies in my homeland, finally free,   Dancing with children, celebrating victory,   As the clouds above me grow darker and bleak,   Roaring like a hurt beast, weeping for the lost,   The ones above my valley give way to the Sun,   Spreading light in alleys that have long forgotten it.   As my threads are being severed,  untied from this world,   As my soul is pulling away, departing to a better place,   I feel anxious, frightened, but not sorrowful,   No, for the God who promised to be kind,   Won’t leave me when I did not leave his people behind,   That is my belief, the one on which I fought with my li fe.   As my rusted gun sinks...
