Oh my daughter Ishrat Jahan! 

(Re-dedicated to her as C.B.I. files second chargesheet)
*******************************************
Your innocence has dawned in this holy month, 
May the blessings of Allah shower on your soul; 
Your piety and sanctity have sought emancipation, 
From what the guardians of law called your role. 

Thousands of blooming buds like you and your age, 
Are being trampled by the remorseless cruel hands; 
I bow my head to that Judge and his sense of justice, 
Who exposed our Indian savage uniformed bands.
