maan kehen khe chavaan?
kehen munhana saan chavan?
aazaadu vatanu thiyo aahe saathii
hii zakhama,
puraanaa salaana ja, ufu
ajju bbi karhii betaabu thaa kani
-- Ishwar Anchal
To whom shall I say,
With a straight face?
'The country has attained freedom, my friend!'
These wounds,
of bygone years, alas,
they fester on, to this day
I have no respite!
(translation mine)
