FREEDOM MOVEMENT
KASHMIRI
Wallo Ha Bagwano now Baharuk
Shaan paida kar
pholan gul gath karan Bulbul, Tithi
sainan paida kar
Chanian wairan, Rivan shabnam
Chhatith Jamay paraishan Gul
Gulan Tai Bulbulan Ander
Dobarai jan paida kar
Mathou Gulzaras Ander Souaye
Gulan kichh sonaya kharabchhaye
yewan sumbal chhi pai dar pai
Gul khandan paida kar
Kari Kus Bulbula Azad Paujras
manz chhi Nallan chokh
chhi panney Daste panaimushkilan
Asaan paida kar
Hokumat, mall, Daultat, Naz-o-Nya
mat, Beyye Shan-en-Shahi
ye soroye Choue chhi Panasnish
Chhi Ameye chhi jan paida kar.
Agar Wuznawahan basti gulan
Hinz taran zero-bum
buneonl kar, waw kar,
Gagrai Kar, Toofani paida kar.
- Mahjoor

Meaning
Recreate the Glory of Spring
O ye gardener, recreate the glory of spring
and establish haunts
to enable flowers bloom and
nightingales dance.
The garden is desolate, the dew weeping
and flowers distracted;
restore their dignity to the flowers
and to the nightingales.
Rank-nettles hamper the growth of roses;
weed them out and
welcome thousands of smiling hyacinths
eager to bloom in the garden.
O ye captive nightingale! You are gloomy
in your cage, but who will set you free?
Forge with your own hands the instruments
of your deliverance.
Authority, wealth, comforts and
sovereignty-all these are yours;
.wake up, sleeper, and know these as yours
to rouse this habitat of flowers,
bid good-bye to your dulcet strains and
create an earthquake,
a wind-storm, a rumbling thunder
and a typhoon

Meaning
India, land of our birth, land of great deeds
India, Mother of crores of our people
India, crowned in golden splendour by
snowy peaks
Draped in fertile, silky green
A glittering garland of rivers
adorning her neck-
Our eyes fill with the beauty of our Mother.
Many sweet languages sprinkle nectar in
this smiling land; Many costumes and
colours brighten the children of our Mother;
In her rich soil are embedded the roots of
brave and ancient civilizations.
Our Mother desires that peace shall descend
on the whole Earth.

He awakens them from their slumber.
Will such lieutenant (people's leader)
ever accept any restrictions?
