Re: Ras ...Cries of anguish not mentioned in the backdrop. Of mountain peaks that stand, silent witnesses.

Beautiful! Reminds me of something that Iqbal
wrote in one of his Persian poems:

I said to the Mountain, ``You hear the cries of the
grieving; the jewels amongst your stones are made from the
blood of the sufferers. Won`t you listen to my pleas?``
The Mountain stood quiescent and said nothing.

Good poem and a very important issue. I join you in your hopes for the people of Kashmir and of South Asia.
