Being slave, weak and poor, hark’ the Kashmir calls

Being slave, weak and poor, hark’ the Kashmir calls,
Whom a sharp sighted call’d "Persia Small."

From sky their raises a sigh of grief,
When a trueman is gagged by a tyrant chief.

Of ruthless times she is telling a tale,
From dales of hills, of peasants sad and pale.

So famed in skill Oh this noble race
Where is thy avenge O’ Lord of each base?
