On the cradle of peace
Melting magma inside
The Volcano of thought, restless to burst
The anger that got the weakest crust,
A dream beyond the dream, trust
The word kept in museum of lust,
Searching a dowser to douse,
The fire within us,
O! Dew from heaven! Save us,
O! Save us, Earth is burning
Unquenchable thirst,
Unfathomable desire we keep
Thought became the devils house
Innocent people are slaughtered
By the sword of colour, race and religion
Human being is standing abyss
On the platform of economy
Education policies have divided the society
In fact societies are being divided in two
Ruling class and the slave
On the lap of prosperity and poverty
I prithee! O World! Stop this
Humanity is dyeing
Melting magma inside
Volcano is bursting,
Debris like terrorism, Naxalism,
Holy crusade and jihad are all round scattered.
Mountain of dead mocking the humanity
On the cradle of peace
