A Yamin with a Valorous Mien

By S.M.A. Faiz*

What an extreme cruelty
Hitherto unseen;
Some savages were given the bounden duty
And in that make-up they were keen as a bean!

With eyes in the brass ring
And ringed with a wild fling;

From their armoured vehicle
With a besetting sin
They threw out a dying Yamin
And with the sound of the fiddle
Passed away Yamin
With a valorous mien.

Oh my hero in thy bloom of youth!
For thee we feel as free as air
And to thee we make this solemn oath
So as to believe in a fair field and no favor;

And thereafter walking down the memory lane
Again we would ken a life as right as rain.
