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,

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.
