'COME ON MY BROTHERS WE HAVE WORK TO DO'

What do you see in the
skies when the sun
rises? Do you see the
beauty of the dawn or
do you see the crimson
blood of our Martyrs?
What do you see when
the dusk approaches?
Do you see the ebony
beauty of the dusk or
do you see the black
shadows of India?
What do you see when
you see the bright
yellow Mustard flowers
blossoming in the
fields? Do you see the
golden beauty or do
you see the endless
graves of our brothers
resting peacefully?
What do you see when
the waterfall glimmers
in the sunlight? Do you
see crystals dancing in
sunlight or do you see
the tears of a violated
sister? What do you
see when you see the
snowcapped
mountains in the
distance? Do you see
the peace it exuberates
or do you see the
shrouds of children
Killed by our enemy.
What do you see when
the spring announces
the arrival with fresh
leaves decorating the
branches of the walnut
tree? Do you see the
innocent and charming
display or do you see
the forthcoming
Islamic revolution?
What do you hear
when frogs croak in
the yards? Do you hear
nature ’s symphony or
do you hear the cries
of a mother who lost
her son? What do you
hear when the winds
play music in the
night? Do you hear the
melody or do you hear
the shouts for
freedom? What do you
hear when the birds
play their mesmerizing
tunes? Do you hear the
songs of harmony or
do you hear the
painful cries when a
sister was raped? What
do you hear when
water gushes through
the canals of Kashmir?
Do you hear the nature
laughing or do you
hear the sighs of a
brother in prison?
What do you hear
when the cricket plays
its amusing song? Do
you wonder at the
nature ’s mystery or do
you hear the boots of
the soldiers. What do
you hear when rain
falls on the window
panes? Do you hear
the perfect sync or do
you hear the sound of
bullets whizzing past
by you. What do you
hear when the hooves
of the horses create
miraculous harmony?
Do you marvel at the
strength in the legs of
the beasts or do you
think of the great
warriors of Islam?
What do you think
when you start eating
the food you mother
has cooked for you?
Does it remind you of
the ones who do not
have anything? What
do you think when you
sit in the exam hall?
Do you think of the
marks you will get or
do you think of the
examination on the
day of the Judgment?
What do you think
when you buy new
shoes or new clothes?
Does it remind you of
how smart you will
look or does it remind
you of the brothers
who lost their legs and
arms in a protest?
What do you think
when you start writing
on the Notebook or
typing on your PC?
Does it even remind
you of the obligations
that you have towards
the Islamic Revolution?
What do you think
when you leave for
College in the
morning ? Do you
think of the ones
who left everything
back home to fight
for the sake of Allah?
What do you think
when you leave for
work in the
mornings? Do you
think of the ones
back home who have
no one left to earn a
livelihood? What do
you think when your
daughter hugs you
when you come back
from work? Does it fill
you with joy and love
and then do you
remember the
daughter of a
Mujahid who has not
been to home for so
long?
Be your own judge
when you reply to
the above questions.
And believe me, my
Brothers we have
work to do.
