Come, weeping child

Lift your eyes

From your dead mothers

Bleeding heart,

Look around you

See all the people

Dying, crying,

Lifting their eyes

To God

Calling Him,

Now, weeping child

Lift your eyes

Look at

Your bullet-torn

Soul,

Once covered in gold,

The gold of

The Lords Name;

Now filled

With holes,

Holes

Where the wind

Whistles in

And the blood

Seeps out.

Now, weeping child

Hear me,

Listen hard to

These words:

See the other weeping children

With heads on their

Dead Mothers breast,

Call to them!

You share the same

Sears,

The same

Desire;

Call to them!

Let us join together,

Together!

Brothers and Sisters.

Then all take up

The Lords Name as shield

Your pain as sword.

Then, weeping sparrow

Scarred and scorned,

Gobinds sparrow,

Fight!

Fight the hawk

Who has swept down

Upon your innocent being;

Killed your mother,

Raped your sister,

‘Shorn your father,

Burnt your brother,

And has left you

As an orphan,

An orphan of

The aftermath of

Hate,

Unite!

Unite children of Nanak.

Army of Har Krishan.

Take your weapons,

And with the Lord’s Name

On your tips

Avenge

Your mother

And

Your soul!
