Mashraw thas janaan che kar yaad peymy bau
Chhukh azzae wafa beygaan ceh kar yaad peymy bau
Dardil kareymy jaayi maethhaey maayi nigaaro
Kaabaaes mey gov butae khaan ceh kar yaad peymy bau
Mashraevtha jaanaan ——
Bazaar misraes manz gayas
ha maarae zulikha
Aey yousuf e kannaan ceh kar yaad peymy bau
Mashraevthas jaanaan
Akh jalwae haeyith aashiqan falwaa ceh kaerith gokh
Chhuy aalma deywaan ceh kar yaad peymy bau
Mashraevthas jaanan——-
Mashraevthas jaanaan

This poem’s connection goes back to Jammu genocide. Apparently Rasa Javedani wrote this for her sister whose husband, a professor was killed in the event in Jammu.

The Kalaam has a very tragic background. It is written from the perspective of the poet’s sister. Rasa Javedani’s sister from Bhaderwah was a young bride married to a Professor of Persian in Jammu from Bhallesa (near Bhaderwah) named Umar ud din which was a high achievement for a person from such remote area back then.
He & Rasa Javedani’s young son were at Jammu during the Jammu massacres of Muslims. When it happened they were both presumed to be dead in the massacre. But Rasa’s own son had survived & fled to Pakistan. Rasa Javedani’s brother-in-law had been killed in Samba alongside others by Hindu Sanghis. But an eyewitness from the scene described his story as a guy who even when death was near didn’t bow down & asked people to fight back & protect the honour of Muslim women in his caravan.
His young bride (Rasa’s sister) back home eventually remarried. Rasa Javedani raised their young daughter as his own until she found out that his supposed father was actually his Maamu. Rasa’s own son stayed in Pakistan eventually becoming a high level educator there. Even won sitara-e-imtiyaz.
Rasa wrote the poem years later from the perspective of his sister who was waiting for his husband to return during the period of uncertainty.
